Hello Gentlemen,
I would like to introduce you to the Wargamers Club for Gentlemen.

guys who wish to compete against other players and have a record
of their games played.
Amongst the games supported are Squad Battles, Combat Mission,
Matrix JTCS/CSME, John Tiller's Panzer Battles, Steel Panthers and
Vassal GAMES.
Please take the time to check it out and join in the fun. We have been
running succesfully for the past four years now. -

I would hazard a guess that the mention of the word "Gentlemen" caused several of the forum members here not to take you up on your polite and considerate invitation. ;)
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Of course, if he just reordered the words in his post to advertise as it "A Gentlemen's Club for Wargamers", he might have drawn a significantly different portion of the poster base here out!

Lewd puns aside, it's a thoughtful post, and one that deserves exploration from anybody looking for an expanded PvP experience...   :)

Thanks for posting, glint.

I haven't been active with the club for a while, but I did have a great playing CMx2 with the guys a few years ago.

I recently learned that Glint, also known as Peter Jeavons, the founder of the WCFG, passed away a couple months ago.

Been a really bad several months for our hobby.

RIP, Peter.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I had a few interactions with Peter over the past year.  He was always a gentleman.  He will be missed.  RIP. :(

That is sad to hear. The world needs more Wargamers, not fewer.
