The Wargaming Society Friday live streams

Post by TheWargamingSociety »

Hello,

The Wargaming Society is undergoing some big changes this year. One of the major efforts we are going to try is live streams on Twitch. We want to reach out to younger generations and show them how great the WDS games can be. The plan is to start streaming around 12 pm eastern/ 9 pm pacific for a couple hours. Come check our new pages.

Twitch:

I'm all for it. Be sure to increase the resolution of your streams - most fonts are around 11-12, and when you're displaying a 1080p+ screen at 720p the text gets squashed and illegible.

I'd interested in seeing France '14.

I've not spent any time with the FWWC series.

Apologies for missing the live stream... I'm watching it on "catch-up"

I have to say as a first impression I thought bringing up Google Maps and showing modern-day Dinant with a Street View look at the Citadel was a great idea. Never thought of doing that myself (and now I have no idea why not :) )

A top-down map just doesn't do it justice.

Thanks Parmenio. I hope you can catch up with us this next Friday. We will be doing one of the Colonial games.
