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.
And to you, Bob!

ReplyDeleteMany best wishes for the New Gaming Year and for the Twenties! Keep on blogging. Any hobby resolutions?
Mark, Man of TIN,
DeleteWell, the noughties weren't too bad, and the tens were very enjoyable, so I'm hoping that the twenties will be more of the same for all of us.
Hobby resolutions? Well, I have a few ... including finishing my PORTABLE COLONIAL WARGAME book as well as continuing work on my current Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War project.
All the best,
Bob
Happy New Year to you too Bob.
ReplyDeleteSteve J.,

ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteCheers! May I reciprocate, and wish you and yours a great New Year!

And to you, I like the 20 20 logo.
ReplyDeleteTradgardemastare,
DeleteMay I wish you and yours a Happy New Year ... and one day I hope to the Duchy so that we can meet.
The idea for the 20:20 logo came as a result of me finding a box of dice ... and seeing two D20 next to each other with the scores showing 20 and 20. Synchronicity doing its bit ... again!
All the best,
Bob
Happy New Year—and may the Twenties roar for you!
ReplyDeleteEd M,
DeleteCheers! Until you mentioned it, I’d not realised that we were entering the new ‘Roaring Twenties’!
All the best,
Bob
