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.
i have just purchased to add to my growing portable collection :-) - QQ did i miss on first read the how many M/yds is a hex - i have an imagination campaign and mouth of the 'big river' is about 10km so wondering how many hexs that would be
ReplyDeleteMillsy,
DeleteThere’s no set ground scale, but vary it according to the period. For my ironclads, I use 1 hex = 1 cable (200 yards), but I could just as easily use 1 hex = 2 cables (400 yards) to fit the action on my tabletop.
All the best,
Bob
