ANNOUCE: Web-Grognards (board wargames) From: A.Poulter@lut.ac.uk (Alan Poulter) Date: Thu, 04 May 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, An announcement of a new WWW service mainly for board wargames follows. I would be interested in any comments people may have, and also whether the 'challenge' described below is too easy or too hard. You will find out what a 'grognard' is, if you do not know, from the first page. Alan Poulter WEB-GROGNARDS Web-Grognards is based on a mirror of Joe Boeke's Grognards archive at ftp.uadv.uci.edu, known as Euro-Grognards. Euro-Grognards is identical in all ways to the original Grognards site, except that all text files have been given the extension .txt and that as a mirror its contents may lag behind those of Grognards itself. Web-Grognards makes all the information, files etc of Grognards available via WWW. In addition it has sections on gaming-related email addresses and USENET groups and details on PBEM over the Internet. There is also a competition, the Web-Grognards Challenge (with no prizes) for guessing the game currently featured as a graphic adornment on Web-Grognards pages! See the main Web-Grognards page for more details.
