Default Non GW wargames board

Since there seems to be quite a few members here who play war games not produced by games workshop, I think we should have a board specially for these games. It could go right next to the "other GW games" board.

What do you think?

That's mostly for video games though.

No it isn't.

"Other Games" is for anything that is not a GW game. The fact people use the board for videogames is irrelivent. Any discussions about D&D, Shadowrun, Warmachine, etc. all go there.

Perhaps the board description needs to be reworded a bit to be clearer then.. for example:

"This board is for discussion of other games that aren't Games Workshop related. Anything from Console Games and PC games, to other Tabletop Wargames."

Infact, perhaps The Enclave sub-boards could be moved out to the top level as boards under the category, rather than sub-boards - so that they are more easily seen and so their descriptions can also be seen?

Rewording the description sounds good to me.

However we already have quite a few boards on the forum's first page - I don't really want to add three more? Unless we hide the project boards for guests? Could help to un-clutter things a bit.

Hiding the project boards and re-wording the text sounds good to me.

I have the project board minimised anyway.... nothing ever seems to happen down there that interests many people.

Perhaps you could just have the Projects Board collapsed by default, or invisible to guests..
