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 the past ten 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.
Both are rather splendid!

That's done it Bob, I'm going!
ReplyDelete‘Lee,
DeleteI guessed that you will give in to temptation eventually!
All the best,

The first is obviously Waterloo. My guess for the second is Austerlitz but I'm not really sure. Please enlighten me.
ReplyDeleteI fear it would not be a good idea to persuade my wife that we need to visit Valencia only for her to learn on arrival we are going to spend the whole visit in a model soldier museum. She's pretty understanding and forgiving but one can push things too far ...
Mike Hall,
DeleteI can’t remember what the second diorama depicted, but it may we’ll have been Austerltz.
There’s lots to do in Valencia, so your wife might be persuaded if you can find the right inducement ...
All the best,
Bob
Tim Gow eat your heart out!
ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exiled FoG,
DeleteIf the opportunity arose, he’d probably make them a reasonable offer.
All the best,
Bob
