1. Lord, its hard to remember. The first actual real published wargame i ever played may have been Battletech, but previous to that we would always make up rules for how legos, star-wars action figures, or war vehicles built from dominos could kill each other. we even used measuring tapes and dice.

3. Cant remember offhand, but "Bookshelf Games" made a bunch of clasic strategy type games like stratego and such, and i was playing those at a very young age.

4. Battletech
