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.
The last set of figures would certainly raise a few eyebrows if I brought that back into the household ;)
ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exile FoG,
DeleteIn the interest of balance, the next batch of photos will feature some female figures wearing clothes. ;^)
All the best,
Bob
Just as well those young ladies are well padded in the right places. That 'marble' floor looks bally uncomfortable...
ReplyDeleteArchduke Piccolo,
DeleteSome of them certainly seem to have undergone 'enhancement' at some point!
All the best,
Bob
