When I was 12 years old (the early 60s), I needed to be creative with my gaming. I used a 9 X 9 square quilt, my grandmother made for my bed as a playing board. I made tanks, trucks, and artillery pieces using American Plastic Bricks (with cut down Q-Tips) (see above). And, "borrowed" dice from an Uncle Wiggly game (I'm not sure whether the arsenic paint or the lead bunnies posed the greater danger) and reused an abandoned sewing tape.
Today, WARG played a solo tank battle on my newest creation, a jigsaw playing board (2 foot X 2 foot) (see above). Using the tanks of my childhood.

Despite an early advantage, Gunner Stanley (red state), after losing his left tank track, failed to land another round, and was captured not far from his destroyed tank..
Rules: Modified Tonks
Maybe someday we will play a WWII battle using toothpicks as squad weapons 8-)
