We are putting together a list of wargames companies on TWW.
You will be able to search across two fields; ‘scale’ and ‘period’.
For the purpose of the listing, scale will be things like 6mm, 15mm, 25mm, rules etc.
Period will be things like modern, ACW, fantasy, WWII, and non-scale specific things like paints, dice etc.I appreciate that 6mm is not a scale, but a size, however it is a safe bet to assume that everyone will understand what is meant by scale.
The results display live as you type into the search box, so if you start typing ‘6mm’ you will see some results that would include Angel Barracks, Baccus, Irregular Miniatures, Plasmablast Games, Leven Miniatures, etc.
If you then add ‘sci-fi’ to the query then you will lose Leven and Baccus from the list leaving only the 6mm sci-fi companies.Pretty simple and pretty basic, but if simple works…
So, here is the thing.
If you run/own a wargames company please e-mail me your details.I need business name, website URL and the scales and genres you do by line, so something like this:
Bob’s Figures and Stuff
http://www.bobsfiguresandstuff.biz
6mm fantasy
6mm WWII
15mm sci-fi
15 napoleonics
25mm terrain
54mm terrainDon’t be too specific with your periods, Romans may not be found if people search ancients, rioters won’t be found if people search modern, etc, please try and use a term that encompasses the period rather than the actual range.
Please also share this post, the more people that know, the quicker the database will be built and the better a resource it will be.
Where would the war-games company list be placed?
On its own page with a link in the side menu
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< [quote quote=14809]Oh and clickable links for the not so wizardly computer users.[/quote] Of course.
Here is a screen shot of it.
I have typed ancients into the search box, it shows 5 of 12 matches.
The rest can be seen by clicking the next arrow on the bottom.You could also add a ‘scale’ into the search box to return narrower results.
Nothing fancy, but it works.
If anyone wants to suggest companies for me to list that would be handy, just pop the URL in this topic…
