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.
This day by day thing in real time is quite interesting. Doesn't seem like yesterday since the revolution started and Barcelona, Catalonia, Aragon were collectivised/run by the unions. Already we're into the first major government repression. Intellectually, I knew the date and timeline but this approach makes you feel it more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.

Rumblestrip (Andrew),
DeleteI am very pleased that you appreciate this day-by-day account of the events of the Spanish Civil War.
I have mainly used the text from the chronology I produced for my book LA ULTIMA CRUZADA, with a few additional images added to enhance the visual aspect of each blog entry. There are going to be a flurry of additional entries over the next few days, followed by a bit of a gap.
All the best,
Bob
