Sounds like someone has been reading "Foxtrot" in the comics.

@Storm

Dont be shy m8, just tell us how you plan to blow them up?
I dont see a point in playing with toy soldiers without even destroying one of them . Maybe you could put a bunch of them together in a hole and than add some mortar fire and see what happenes . For mortar fire use firecrackers or similar explosive devices

(NOTE)
None of things above were done by me, I spent my childhood playing with Legos...I swear not even a single soldier died under my command

having a lack of explosives here in aus, i had to come up with more creative ways of mutilating these guys.

The most fun way involved petrol and a remote control car.
others were molotovs, smoke bombs, etc.

But i loved getting sparkler shavings and putting them in a bottle, and putting a poor defenceless joe in a bottle and throwing a match in there as well.
lots of fun.

im more interested in electro-magnetic projectile weaponry and Chemical bombs(chlorine, etc...), i made a railgun once, a paper tube with 2m of bell wire wrapped around it and taped up(whole assembly was about 6in long), put an old rusty nail in, aimed it at a brick at point blank range, and hooked the power wires up to my dads unused 12V motorcycle battery.
Lets just say i was glad i put the nail in the right end.
the tube superheated and i couldnt hold it, and it drained about 30% of the battery power.

If you wanted to make toy wars you could go for LEGO, or mouldable plastic, even play-dough! but once holographics becomes commonplace, you wont need it. my advice: use a 3-D modelling program and animate them so you can ACTUALLY see them in action.
as for toy soldier wars, i can reccomend the Warhammer tabletop strategy game, played it once, i can understand why these people spend days on end painting these things.

Apart from that, i dont really have much advice apart from playing an RTS game like starcraft of Age of Mythology...

Welllll heres my ideas

1.Tape firecrackers on to them
2.Plastic meets BB Bullet
3.Use a makeshift flamethrower

Please add any ideas

Here is a good idea as well....

tie them to a bottle rocket or any other form of airborn porjectile and watch em go up an go BOOM!! the best ones are golden dragon rockets....a big bang and flashy explosion and they are quite large so you can tie a BUNCH of em to it and have a large scale genocide missle launch.....little flaming pieces of molten plastic falling from the heavens

*Shakes head* Great, now we're off on a tangent. I wonder how long it will be before spam sets in?
