Do you play Wargames? Warhammer? Warhammer 40,000? Any other Games Workshop Games? Or even anything else? Need a battle? Read on!

The Idea

It has come to my attention that Wargames are very popular. I already know a good few on H2G2 who play the Warhammer Games by Games Workshop. I created this so that those who play these games can get together for games. Below will (hopefully) be a list of all the wargamers on H2G2, where abouts they live, what games they play and at what kind of skill level they are at.

Skill Levels

Recruit - Newbie, trainee, novice, absolute beginner.

Trooper - Some experience, fought a quite a few battles.

Elite - Experienced, Cunning and strong willed.

Captain - Toughened fighter, fought many battles and a tough opponent.

Commander - The best of the best, only play these guys if you know your stuff!

The Players list

This will be very small to begin with, but will grow considerably (hopefully.)

To have your name added to the list start a new conversation on this page and tell me your name (H2G2 nickname will be fine,) what game(s) you play, your E-mail address (if you don't wish this to be available for all to see on H2G2, e-mail me with the address in it to [email protected]), where you are in the country, and your skill level (above.) Please note, you will have to judge your own skill level, so be honest. If you class yourself as a "Commander" and you go to play another Commander when you are only at Trooper level you're going to get slaughtered!!!
Also could you tell me which army you play with and any other information you find appropriate!
