It's an ideal book for novice wargamers ... and for more experienced wargamers who want something uncomplicated for a change.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-88730269906883775382016-10-05T19:26:22.575+01:002016-10-05T19:26:22.575+01:00An interesting little introductory book by the loo...An interesting little introductory book by the look. I downloaded the free kindle preview and it was refreshing that while the author seemed to know more or less what he was talking about thus far, he did not come across as ether an old miniatures gamer nor a GW type. That made ne curious enough to check his blog and a combination of D&D back in the 80s, SCA, real life army and being a scifi writer all sounded just the right sort of background for what I pictured. (Please note I did not get quite that specific in suposition but his writing had made me tjonk of seversll friends). <br /><br />I might even cough up a few dollars out of curiosity about the rest.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-85680463503777682282016-10-04T14:54:33.821+01:002016-10-04T14:54:33.821+01:00Guy,

Now that I am IPM of my Mother Lodge for the second time, I don't see myself taking another active office in the Lodge. Once I have passed through the Chair of the Research Lodge in two year's time, I won't hold an active office again in that Lodge either.<br /><br />I might well resign from my London Lodge now that it's membership is growing (it was very close to closing when I joined it some years ago), and if I do join another Lodge it will be one that is much closer to home. (There is a Masonic Centre less than two miles away, and I could easily drive there or even get there by public transport.)<br /><br />All of the above should reduce eventually Masonic overload ... I hope!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-49113578070800709462016-10-04T12:23:11.271+01:002016-10-04T12:23:11.271+01:00Beware masonic overload!

However all these meetings start to stack up. I have long thought one of the more sensible things Mrs Reagan ever said was 'just say no.' <br /><br />Guy guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-66560137617890683922016-10-02T13:15:22.193+01:002016-10-02T13:15:22.193+01:00Jim Duncan,

This seems to be happening every September, and I am giving thought to resigning from my London Lodge to reduce my commitments.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-69260439647041206272016-10-02T11:21:14.233+01:002016-10-02T11:21:14.233+01:00Having seen your schedule Bob I would take some ti...Having seen your schedule Bob I would take some time to yourself when you can. There is no need for you to fill every minute doing something. Give yourself a break.<br /><br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.com
