The BEST place to play with Toy Soldiers was on the stairs. All the different levels of mountainous fighting and always at the right height, providing Mom didn’t come down the stairs.
The best place to play: outdoors. You had all sorts of terrain. Roots of trees as defensive walls, broken up sticks for forts, after a rain you could put your Marx pontoon and raft in a puddle, in the dirt dig foxholes and trenches, a sandbox was great for any make believe desert action. Nothing beat the outdoors!
I like that: Toy soldiers are “one of history’s best toys”.
Interesting they picture Marx 6″ figures.

I always preferred a hardwood floor, less trouble getting the troops to stand up, even the Lido’s.
