When I was a student at the Naval Academy, I played in the USNA Drum and Bugle Corps. We had some great times doing routines and were on TV a few times.

Even I had those green army men as a child. Didn't really know what to do with them, tho'

IIRC, they sold for about 25 cents for a cellophane bag of 25 at the dime store. Don't feel bad @RadishRose. I didn't know what to do with them either. The dogs liked to chew them up but they somehow just kept reappearing.

As kids, we all treasured our army guys...! Most of my friends had some as did I. When we would play, one guy would set a trap and the other guy would slowly move up his guys to try and capture or destroy the other guy's army. Many long and bloody battles occurred, and we both learned how to win and how to lose.
I grew up in a high mountain town in the Colorado mountains. The winters were long and playing outside at below 0 was not an option. Our war games filled the time well.....
On side note: When I was around 10, I sent five dollars to an address that was on the back of most comic books. The said you could order 100 soldiers for $5. I waited and waited, and they never showed up. That was a bummer.... I could have concurred the world with that army!
