Manx Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I know plenty of forums catering for wargames and such, but i don't recall anything that matches the traffic that we have here. I mean, we have more posts in a single thread than most boards do total. Can anyone prove me wrong? If so, point me to it. I'd like to see it.

Harold Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 http://www.consimworld.com/ . Not too sure if it has more as here but it is certainly more diverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Do you mean there are other wargame websites? Do you mean there are non-CM websites on the net? Gosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Johnson-- Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Naw, this has to be the biggest, most well informed, active, and the most amazing eclectic group of wargamers on the planet. Just a shame all historians and war authors haven't found this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also at least one who uses gamey jeep recon tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Murrin Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 This is the busiest wargame forum I've seen. Matrix Games comes a close second. Nathanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Concussion Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Nope. I know a bigger one! A much much bigger one (i think). It is not CM, nor a war game. it is a first person shooter mod for Half-Life. Maybe u have heard of it. Day of defeat. click here and find message boards on the left after opening. Click Here! You may have more posts and threads but far less members (i believe) [ 12-13-2001: Message edited by: Major Concussion ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you insist on going there however, I think the CS forum is probably bigger. Here: Counter-Strike Unfortunately, it's getting to be an ugly scene now. Oh well, guess I'll just have to switch back to DOD. Nathanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 DoD, hahah. DoD isn't a wargame, far from it, good try though. Unfortunetly lot of the people on the DoD forums are morons, and don't know what they are talking about. They also do not listen to reason and no matter how much proof you show them on a subject, they never admit they're wrong. I left that forum, it's pure crap!

PiggDogg Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 This is the busiest wargaming board on the net because CM is the best computer wargame. (Yes, sucking up here, but it is true.) As I have said before & in my humble opinion (& opinions are like noses, everyone has one), CM is by no means perfect, but it is better than any other wargame, game, program, etc. for the computer. Also, it is fun, fun, fun for us weird people. Cheers, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There msg boards have grown so large that they have to wipe them once every few months for technical reasons http://www.games-workshop.com/community/messages.htm But for historical wargaming, CM all the way.

Ligur Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Well you can go to the Something Awful forums and see about 2000 posts go by daily, too, but that is as close to wargaming as DoD, Counter-Strike or GW's insane miniature games. Come on guys. [ 12-14-2001: Message edited by: Ligur ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Check it from Counter Strike page...bring on the virtual gladiators. "The CPL -- Thursday, December 6, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CPL World Championship has kicked off today and runs until the 9th at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas Texas. The event boasts $150,000 in cash prizes and over 900 competitors. Myself, Barney (Mr Fraggle), Pink from FLF, and a couple Valve and Gearbox guys will be present and it really should be a fun time for everyone. Don't hesitate to stop by if you're in the Dallas or surrounding areas." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
