Title: A new Blog
Post by: TacticalWargames on April 06, 2016, 04:14:57 AM
As I wanted to do more indepth articles like reviews and interviews etc Facebook wasn't really equiped for it. So Tactical Wargames has just started a new Blog. It's a WIP at the moment. I do have a few articles lined up already.

Just one thing please don't judge this blog on me or previous issues from the past. I'm not the actual editor and really it's two other peoples work more than my own. So if you are interested go bookmark it and drop by once in awhile. Hopefulyl we have some interesting articles for you to browse through.

Oh and one other thing. The only regular article I know will be definately published will be one centered on HPS and Scott and current progress on games in development. So it will be a good please to check out if you have any interest in Scott and HPS (Kind of an inside view). Reason being is, as many know, there is no actual forum etc where people can follow Scott and any progress so this will be a good way to bridge that gap. I also have some interviews lined up with devlopers\publishers aswell.

the more the merrier, there cant be enuf information on the hobby of wargaming  O0

proposal: it would be good if the name (or the nickname) of the author, who wrote a review or a contribution get mentioned above his or her article.

MikeGer..I'll suggest that to the editor. Good idea. We have mentioned reviews being signed. We've done one each so far.

We may also be seeing reviews by a character currently in creation at the moment..name Guy*Can't Fly"  Spiffington-Smythe. ALong with our normal reviews..though they will all be serious reviews at th end of the day.

It's a WIP at the moment.

Also the three review sup at present where originally posted on the FB page. So I know mine in particular isn't how future reviews will be. They will be more detailed and try and consider the game from different gamers perspectives.

A welcome and general mission statement will be posted soon to explain it all anyway.

Oh one more thing..we do have a great selection of people willing to do an interview..which I hope will be a bi monthly feature.

OK  the welcome and mission statement has gone up.

@Mikeger apparently to get the name of the reviewer top of post the actual reviewer needs to post the article and that is left to the editor, Boris. However I have asked we include our names actually within the review heading.
