An example of what CSW is great for is this. I found a GBoH leader counter on the floor of the game room. Not a name I recognized. I have the SGBoH counter sheet and the Battle Manual that has a picture of the front of that sheet on the back. Not on that sheet. So I posted on the GBoH thread under Ancients a description including name, color and every value on the counter. Then the forum went down. So tell me, where else am I going to ask that question? BGG wont work because I don't know which game it came out of.
The Wargamers group on Facebook will get you an answer quickly.
Thanks I'll give that a try if CSW never comes back up.
Zaarin, I bet the Wargames general forum on BGG can help you.
There has been an update 5 posted that it could be several more days. I can be patient.
And there has now been an update 7 posted. The gist is the old forum will become read only at some point and they are eventually (end 2017 start 2018) going to go to a new forum host. The site consimworld.com is still up.
A long overdue change that I applaud.
I would too if it had been one they had planned for and the switch over was just going to be a few days. Instead the scramble to fix things is going to drag out over months. At least they are willing to do so.
A long changeover might drive some publishers to finally use BGG, which would be great.
I looked for the BGG Wargames general forum and did not see it.
