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.
Bob,
ReplyDeleteJust received my copy of the Madasahatta Campaign.
About 4 pages in and rolling about laughing.
Brilliant construction.
Thanks so much for re-publishing.
Whiskers,
DeleteNow you can understand why those of us who took part enjoyed the experience so much! Eric made wargaming fun!
All the best,
Bob
While researching the history of wargames, I learned that you at one point crafted little cork warships for Jane's Naval War Game. One of your cork ships appeared on the cover of one of Donald Featherstone's books:

May I have a photograph of one of your little cork ships? I want to put it on Wikipedia, in the article on the history of miniature wargaming. It's historically significant, because Jane's wargame was the first to use miniature models.
Would you provide me with a public domain photo of one of your cork warships? Wikipedia is about free content, and prefers public domain images.
I have strived in vain to find more about "Memoir of battle", having read several references about it in other blogs. Can you direct me to where I can find MOB in it's entirety? Many thanks.

Hi Bob! Just found this page recently. I've found a number of your links either require you granting permission (I've requested it) or I get a message saying that the item isn't available. Don't know how much of that might be from my end (server issues) and how much might be from yours. Can you please give your end a look to see if the links are doing what you intended them to do? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
John
Terrement (John),
DeleteThe need to request permission was introduced some time ago by Google. All you have to do is ask, and I will send you a link as soon as I can.
As to links not working, I regularly check them and as far as I know, they should all work. Please let me know which ones don’t and I’ll find out why.
All the best,
Bob
