I agree...BRANT - I thought you were the same Brant.<br />I agree 100% on your last comment, as I do think that current events are very much overlookedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215605210887310074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-83998401815700081512011-02-01T20:33:53.737+00:002011-02-01T20:33:53.737+00:00RO - FWIW, I am the same Brant as over at CSW :)RO - FWIW, I am the same Brant as over at CSW :)Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482746543829626805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-83886042785726028432011-02-01T20:33:06.879+00:002011-02-01T20:33:06.879+00:00So there's been some conversation over at warg...So there's been some conversation over at <a href="http://www.wargamer.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=505063" rel="nofollow">wargamer.com</a> about what to do with the site.<br /><br />My last statement over there was:<br /><br />OK - so obviously we're looking to increase some of the wargame content. <br /><br />Thoughts on what you'd want to read about? <br /><br />Something like the Tuesday Interviews we ran for a while? <br /><br />Here's what I *don't* want: <br />- reviews that talk about the same thing every other review talks about: graphics, rules, gameplay, rinse/repeat... there are already enough of these sites. <br />- too many developer features about their upcoming games... again - I don't want to cut into other people's work, especially if they're doing it better than we would (like Battles Magazine - freakin' awesome and you should *totally* check it out!) <br />- scenarios for too many historical games - we're trying to cover current events and conflicts <br /><br />Here's what I would like to see, but I am time- and resource-constrained: <br />- Game graphics... I *love* showing off good game graphics <br />- scenarios for modern-era games, especially if you can base them on current events <br />- maps of current-event locations, converted to a game map <br />- analysis of current events with a game context <br />- forward progress on C2E2 <br />- doctrine or operations-related content, kind of like my old Battle Lab / and current Warfare Affair columns <br />- comparisons of how different games model the same weapons, effects, practices, units, etc. <br /><br /><br />Using those ideas as a way to scope this discussion, who's got what suggestions along these lines? <br /><br />And/Or - who's got ideas/suggestions for non-game-related content? <br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br /><br />so, with that as some guidance... what next? what do y'all think?Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482746543829626805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-41514496564863346982011-02-01T20:16:19.323+00:002011-02-01T20:16:19.323+00:00I should add i have now bookmarked your site :-)I should add i have now bookmarked your site :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215605210887310074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-13824846715217619522011-02-01T20:15:28.166+00:002011-02-01T20:15:28.166+00:00I have visited a few times, and I must admit, I di...I have visited a few times, and I must admit, I did forget to bookmark your site, and I only remember when Brant at ConsimWorld mentions you, but I do enjoy all what you do. I do like the OOB, maps and current military articles.<br />I think going into the gaming would be a good idea, but do not make it your main subjectAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215605210887310074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-63477161006974021592011-01-29T11:21:58.492+00:002011-01-29T11:21:58.492+00:00I came here hoping for a game blog and now frequen...I came here hoping for a game blog and now frequent it for military news and articles.

Don't care for the videos. The maps are nice, as are the ORBATs, but they don't bring me back. More game-related articles would be great, but I realize you're busy and will take what I can get. Keep up the good work!madmaxusmcnoreply@blogger.com
