Found on the interweb , a 'Military Game' - shooting a BB gun at hollowcast figures - in an era when there was no Heath and Safety ("careful you could have someones eye out with that") I'm not sure about having a window as a backstop ! - probably responsible for some of the damaged figures that appear on eBay nowadays.

Another wonderful find Tony! How times have changed! But, it does look like he's having a great deal of fun, and that's what toys are all about!
ReplyDeleteI suspect/hope the rifle wasn't highpowered !
DeleteInteresting that the points are actually inverse when it comes to shooting: the larger targets (like horse) are worth more points than the smaller (infantry). Then again, entirely in keeping, somehow, with the "poor bloody infantry" vs other arms.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the mounted figure represents a officer ?
DeleteAnother lovely image, a shame to shoot all those lovely soldiers though!
ReplyDeleteYes there could of been a high casualty rate !.
DeleteExcellent find and particularly like the ‘name the toy before shooting’ line!
ReplyDeleteYes the 'marksman' rule instead of just blazing away !
DeleteI hope the window is open!
ReplyDeleteGood move !
