This being the 69th anniversary of the start of WWII we have chosen this time to open a new chapter in wargaming as well. We have created a new website that will be for wargaming, history and intersite tournaments. We are starting with CM but don't intend to limit the intersite tournaments to any single game. The new site is called War and Tactics.
We are opening the site with a CM community tournament. All CM sites and clubs have been invited to send their challengers.
Having said that, War and Tactics is far from a CM site. First and foremost it's about wargaming and history. How the two interact. Where to go to find facts for projects you have. Hopefully where to go to post information you have. Let's look up information one time and put it in a central location for the rest of time....or until Al Gore breaks the internet....:whis:
I'm putting this notice here instead of in each forum. While it applies to each forum here it applies to them all equally. WaT is designed with the intention that the entire wargaming community has a central location to go for answers. Not just WWII or tactical. The intention is to support all time periods in a single place.
Whether you are looking for the OOB for the Punic Wars or for Stalingrad we intend that the information can be found in a single place. Of course this is no small project and we can't do it alone. While I know quite a bit about the wars that the United States was involved in I know next to nothing about Napoleonics, or the Russian Civil War, the rest of you do.
So, we are absolutely looking for contributors to the history part of the site.
The wargames part of the site will be mostly discussion. We don't have ladders. All the rest of you have ladders. We don't need more ladders we need more game playing.
That brings us to the third reason for the site being setup. Intersite/club competitions. A neutral ground where multiple site competitions can be held. The first of these is starting today with the CM Masters Tournament.
You can come and register, look around, sign up for the tournament, post in the forums or whatever you like here:

We intend on working closely with entire wargaming community whether it be computer, board or miniatures gaming.
One Place for All Times...........
Come see us.
Good Hunting.
