About Me
- Robert (Bob) Cordery
- I have been wargaming for as long as I can remember. One of the first toys that I was bought was a wooden fort that was garrisoned by assorted lead soldiers ... and I have never looked back! The first wargames book I bought was CHARGE! (although I had taken out [and repeatedly read] Donald Featherstone's WAR GAMES book beforehand [and many thanks to John Curry for republishing it!]). My first 20mm figures were the good old Airfix Guards Infantry and Band (in shocking pink!), soon followed by others as they were released, and by 1968, when I bought my first metal Hinton Hunt 20mm figures, I had a large collection of World War II figures, tanks, guns, and aircraft. I was a founder member of WARGAME DEVELOPMENTS and have been the treasurer and membership secretary ever since. I have also organised – along with Tim Gow - the annual conference (COW – Conference of Wargamers) for more that fifteen years. My main interests are wargaming any wars from 1850 onwards, although I have a special interest in Colonial, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II wargaming. I also have a special interest in wargames that use square or hex grids for movement and weapon ranges.

DeleteMay Sue and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The closest Sue and I have every had to celebrating Christmas in the middle of Summer - as you do in Australia - was to have a Christmas cruise in the Caribbean. The weather was great ... but somehow it all felt a bit odd. I'm sure that you are all used to it, but I'm not sure that I could cope.
All the best,
Bob
Bob,
DeleteTo-day (Christmas Day) was 35Deg C...and the Forcast after Boxing Day is for Temperatures in the 40s...I'm fairly use to it and can cope during daylight hours in my shed with all the doors and windows open- a slight breeze too can be a blessing. Thankfully in the evening things tend to cool down- and I do get more modelling and design work done then. Yes, it would be great for us to have a Christmas with snow. All the Best. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI've only experienced 40+ degrees C on a few occasions ... and because I wasn't used to it, I found it difficult to cope. I suppose that over time, I might get used to living in your climate ... but I suspect it would take a very long time.
All the best,
Bob
Merry Christmas to you and your family Bob

Happy Christmas Bob from Mark Man of TIN and all the Pound Store Plastic Warriors! Thanks for another interesting year of blog posts. Hope you had lots of toys!

I took delivery of a large box of painted 25/28mm Napoleonic figures just before we went on our recent cruise, and I hope to open the packaging and sort out my new acquisitions before the New Year.
All the best,
Bob
