The games we played 1 (knives)

Thanks for posting these great stories. The detailed descriptions bring vivid images to mind. I can recall similar pretend battles from my own youth. The bigger guys always seemed to win. Their longer arm reach did give them an advantage. As in your war games, we were always shirtless and usually in shorts and barefoot. That made for a lot of skin to skin contact. My favorite part was being in the dead pile. Those were the days.
