LAF News - new boards and a new moderator
« on: January 23, 2012, 08:42:58 PM »
Today is a good day for LAF. First LPL contender are already starting painting on their teams (at least I hope so) and now we’ve got some new boards. All the years I’ve been asked  where to post all that historical stuff like Napoleonics, Medieval, Ancients, Modern Wars and so on. All the years I said - Other Adventures, please. This time is over, today there are some new addresses:

Age of Myths, Gods and Empires - The Ancient World, real and imagined, from the Stone Age to the Fall of the Western Roman Empire - (Moderator - Prof.Witchheimer)

Medieval Adventures - Adventures in the Dark and Middle Ages, from the 5th to the 15th century  - (Moderator - Welf VIII.)

Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts - Swashbuckling Adventures, Renaissance, Pirates, ECW,  to the end of 17th century  - (Moderator - Captain Blood)

Age of the Big Battalions - Great Northern War, SYW, AWI, Napoleonics, ACW, Crimean War, Franco-Prussian War etc.  - (Moderator - Lt.Hazel)

Post-War and Modern Adventures - Cold War, James Bond, KKBB, Modern Wars  - (Moderator - Arlequin)

Though Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts  Board is actually nothing else but our good old renamed Swashbuckling Adventures Board.

But that wasn't all. Also I've splitted our beloved Future Wars board:

Post-Apocalyptic Tales - Apocalypse, Zombies, Fallout, Mad Max, Metro 2033, Stalker  - (Moderator - Matakishi)

Future Wars - Near Future, Future Wars, Science-Fiction, Aliens, Space Adventures, WH40K etc.  - (Moderator - Matakishi)

some minor changes:

- Atomic Cafe 1957 child board was removed to Post-Apocalyptic Tales
- World War I board was renamed to The Great War
- World War II board was renamed to The Second World War

Also I'm pleased to announce and to welcome our new moderator for the new Medieval Adventures board - Welf VIII! Good luck!

The resorting of the threads still isn't finished, there are way too many threads to look through but I don't want to lock LAF any longer, I think you already get the idea of the new order of things.

And now a break from resorting and back to my painting desk, I'm namely going to start an Ancient miniatures project.

Well, that's all for today. Thank you all for making this place that great.

Cool… especially since I received a bunch of Avantines Etruscans today lol

Also I really like that the WWI board was renamed The Great War. I always though that it sounded much better and kind of ironic at the same time…

I presume WSS (War of Spanish Succession) should go in the Age of the Big Battalions board?

Thanks for your hard work and dedication
