Hi guys

I've been looking around for some other places to promote (i.e. market) Weird War games and minis. So aside from the obvious (here, TGN, TMP) can anyone suggest a good forum or site to promote these types of games?

It would have to be a product non-specific place as I don't want to be posting announcements on a commercial site

Thanks

Other than the three you listed above, if it's boardgame-y, you could also hit boardgamegeek.com.

It isn't boardgame related but they happily do have a PR message baord.

Ain't that many themed boards I can think of.

There's LAF and TMP.
There's the SOTR and AE-WW2 forums, but those have their own system and while they may accept we post other manufacturer's figures there, I doubt it extends to other rules.
There's the What the!! Miniatures forum (http://whattheminiatures.com/forum/index.php), which might be a possibility, though Brian promotes the Battleground WW2 rules and the mods he made for it, so maybe ask him about it (Kampfgruppe Cottrell on LAF).
There's also the "pulp fiction" boards on the Wargames forum: http://www.wargames.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/default.asp
And finally, the Miniature Wargaming Forums: http://www.miniaturewargaming.com/index.php/forums/viewforum/20/

I know your reasons for not wanting to go to frothers. Either way, not that many weird war II fans over there. I myself prefer to come here for that sort of thing.

That was actually the main reason. Most gamers get their news from other sources anyway.
