Who was Major General Tremorden Rederring?

Who is/was Major General Tremorden Rederring's of the Colonial Era Wargames Page? I would love to thank him for his inspiring website. I stumbled upone it years ago at a time when I was starting to loose my faith in Games Workshop, and it launched me on a rugged, and sometimes difficult, but always scenic path through to the land of 'independent wargaming manifacturers'.
The last time I checked the Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial Era Wargames Page it had not been updated for many years. Now it appears to have gone completly. I was just wondering who was behing the site, and if they are still part of the online gaming comunity in one form or another (are they even members of LAF)? I figured you fine upstanding son's (and daughters) of the Empire would be the best people to ask.

Guy named David in Texas. Check the colonialwar Yahoo group for his full name. I don't think he is gaming anymore.

Oh dear it has gone to that gaming table in the sky. It's one of the few sites I link to on my blog as it had been such a tremendous influence especially in my 6mm colonial gaming.

A great shame it's gone.

[Hammers]

It's gone?! It's been tremendously influential. I would gladdly have taken thee whole content and maintained it on my webhotel just for it's historic value.

According to postings on the yahoo colonial wars list, theres been a temporary glitch in the hosting services, and the site will eventually be rehosted  and with mirror sites for posterity. 

And I`m crossing my fingers for the rebirth - splendid stuff...

[Mycenius]

Yeah - it's expected to be back up in the next few weeks - you can still access it via the way back machine for now - I have a link to it on my blog: http://wargaming.info/2011/an-old-friend-thought-lost/

P.S. Major-General Tremorden Rederring was David Helber (the Wargaming Group was known as the "Ouargistan Wargamers" or such).

I am delighted to see it is not gone for good, and I am greatly endebted to David for opening my eyes to a world of none-GW wargaming. Even though I don't play Colonial-era now, I still have my miniatures, and occatioally get them out for a Pulp-era, or for role playing games. If you corrispond with him at all, please pass on my regards.

Here here. Couldn't agree more. It too was a great influence on my war gaming beginnings.

Let's hope the Major General's Site lives on forever.

Phew! I'm so glad that marvelous site hasn't gone for good! It has been a major influence on my move into Darkest Africa-style gaming.

The Major General is the reason why I ever got into colonial gaming. If not for him, I'd be stuck in the Dark Ages. I don't think I ever finished my Vikings.

Yes indeed. I never ever played any colonial adventures, but the Ouargistan site was an absolute inspiration to the indie wargaming spirit, a real revelation that wargaming could be whatever you make it. Hope it makes a reappearance soon!

His site is what inspired me to start creating terrain and wargaming in general.

Very good thread. I hope it will be back.
The Majors Site and the Red Shadow site from warflag  inspired me for my steps into Colonial Wargaming !
Thank you !

[Ignatieff]

Their mad obsessed gaming was a major influence on The League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers.  So much richness, content, links, creative work and most of all imagination!  Glad the site will live on, but a shame he has stopped gaming.
