Playing with toys at your age....

When grown-ups play with tin soldiers or soldiers made of plastic/other material they usually put them up in certain pattern to demonstrate a famous battle.

I try to remember what I saw when I was around 3-5 years old. A friend to my father-I think he was, had his entire basement arranged with fields mini trees mini hills mini trench.

If I remember correctly he had build in some scale the last battle of sonderburg 1864.

On tv I have seen some American making a true copy of some famous civil war battle.

Edit
In Denmark it is called slaget ved dybbøl-Eng the second Schleswig war

I have a friend with the same hobby; he's created a huge diorama of Rorke's Drift (Zulu Wars) with toy soldiers - not model soldiers but toys. He was a high-flying shares dealer in the City but, like me, never lost his love for his little plastic men
