UPDATE: Web-Grognards, 16/6/96 From: Alan Poulter <alan@poulter.demon.co.uk> Date: Sun, 16 Jun 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, Big news: Web-Grognards has been reviewed and rated as a 3-star web site by Magellan, a site specialising in reviewing other web sites!!! I feel this is a great honour: Web-Grognards is now listed in their 'Games and Puzzles' and 'Computer Games' categories. Thanks are due to Eric Pass and to everyone who has contributed material or made suggestions as to the format of Web-Grognards. If you contribute more material and/or suggestions then maybe we can get a 4-star rating for Web-Grognards! In response to suggestions I have put all the Challenge graphics on the home page, to make them easy to find and have reorganised the entries for ASL and Diplomacy, which were getting a little crowded. Also I have changed the HTML validator I use to one provided by Harbinger Net Services. The Challenge: Chester Hendrix was the first of only a few people to guess Napoleon's Last Triumph by Simulations Canada. A new Challenge awaits!
