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.
I see that the larger squares make it a "Portable Wargame Board" rather than an "Arena". I suspect that this distinction may puzzle people who don't read your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are clearly highly influential in the Wargame industry.
Mike Hall,
DeleteIn truth, I suspect that only people who read my blog or buy my books will even look at the catalogue for this item.
As for being influential in the wargames industry ... that I seriously doubt, but as Warbases are a small yet very efficient company, I think it is more a case of them seeing an opportunity to expand their range of products. If only other businesses were so forward thinking and responsive.
All the best,
Bob
