We played lots of mumblety peg, but we played "war" with a twist...
We had an inexhaustible supply of explosives. We would pack cherry bombs in adobe clay then stud them with gravel and let them bake in the sun for a day. They were nasty hand grenades. We used BB guns and lots and lots of hand grenades. It was a version of capture the flag. Burning candles made lighting grenade fuses easy. Timing the fuse burn was tricky. Tossing back an unexploded grenade was brave and stupid.
