re: Do kids still play stuff like Cowboys and Indians?

My son and his friends have just reached an age where they have stopped playing things like this but for them the big game to play was army.

I remember one Christmas when our son was about 9 or so my wife and all the other neighborhood boys' moms got together and bought the stuff so all of them had little uniforms, equipment, toy guns, the whole 9 yards to play war. They looked like a little infantry platoon. After that Christmas for months, unless we were at the ballpark, they'd be about 10 or 12 kids out in the neighborhood fighting WWIII. It was pretty awesome.
