Toy soldiers!
I began with Timpo WW2 soldiers, but they got left behind when we left Gibraltar I suppose, as I never saw them again! But the following Christmas I got the Timpo Wild West Fort with some 7th Cavalry and {ahem} Red Indians...
I could go on about all the Airfix toy soliders and stuff I later accumulated... but let us take a less martial turn and mention another toy I got while in Gibraltar, Etch-a-Sketch!
I should also mention the Triang/Hornby electric train set I got for Christmas in Gibraltar, then a bunch of extra track with some points and a whippy little red dock shunter engine.
Once I had a bunch of German and British 1/72nd scale soldiers it didn't take long for me to start playing scenarios which involved trains loaded with soldiers being derailed and fought over!
