I have reformatted and tidied up my original transcription of these rules, and they are now available in PDF format here.

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.
Fantastic! Thanks to you and the editor of the Courier for doing this.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteIt was our pleasure.
All the best,

Unrelated to this post, but related to portable wargaming in general - the guy who designed Songs of Drums and Shakos (a skirmish-level Napoleonic game based on the Song of... fantasy rules) is now working on a "portable wargame" on hexes. You can a couple of pictures in his latest 2 blog entries at http://drumsandshakos.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHis setup looks good. Lots of dice! ha ha
Fitz-Badger,
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the link. His blog looks very interesting, and I hope to spend some time reading all the relevant entries.
All the best,
Bob
