My introduction to miniature gaming came in boxed sets from Hertiage Figures. They had several lines but the one that captured my imagination was Galacta 25. As you can guess Galacta 25 is man to man combat in the far future. The rules came with each boxed set which includes lead figures (yes, it was that long ago) , a brush with small containers of paint, and a easy to read and play set of rules. It had an huge impact on my gaming and for years afterwards we would fondly speak of Galactra 25 and bemoan the fact that none of us could find the rules.
That was in the early 1980s and as luck would have it I stumped upon a redone copy of the Galacta 25. So for those that remember those good days and like us missed the game below is a link to the latest edition. Cheaper than 40k rules and you can also use your old figures so check'em out.
