I thought I had gone to the wrong site first time it came-up. They shouldn't do that to a fellow sober.

Because...if you were drunk you'd go home with her?

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I can't decide whether I like the new look or despise it...I think I despise it.

It's not a great design, but it's better than what they had.

And their front page has some decent content. They'd actually make a pretty good merger here.

I miss the Tiger Tank logo.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

We had a number of cool logos over the years. The Tiger/Apache were pretty awesome.

Good Lord - it looks like the front page was designed by someone from Fisher-Price on an acid!

LMAO!!! Now I have to go look....damn it!!!
So will I. I haven't felt much inclination to post there for a few years now (well maybe once or twice about a year ago), nor looked at it for a while... I'm sorry that what used to be a good gaming site may have fallen so low. :( I'll check it out now.

If anyone is feeling nostalgic, they've left the old site up for your enjoyment

I saw it too and couldn't help feeling that the "new" format is a step backward. To be honest, I quite liked the format of the old wargamer. I'm happy for the "New" Wargamer that Jim Cobb is still with them, as I think he writes excellent reviews. Overall I feel disappointed with them dumping the "old" wargamer forums for the empty 'new' forums and bland (compared to the old wargamer) front page. OK, it's early days to be too judgmental, but my first impressions are "if it ain't broke don't fix it", or if it is broke and you're going to replace it, at least get something better. It seems to me - in car terms - that they've replaced the "Wargamer's" Mitsubishi Shogun with a tiny "New Wargamer's" Smart car :-\.

It was slow to load but I pulled up the front page in about five seconds.
