In this respect, I am trying to duplicate the kinds of blogs I&#8217;ve seen for games like 40k, where players post all kinds of articles on subjects like battle reports, game tactics, and the like. Additionally, Man Battlestations has a forum, which I really think of as the true heart of the site.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I would say the project has been doing OK. A number of gamers from all over the world have joined the forums, and I gotten a number of encouraging comments on my blog posts. However, updating the blog and keeping track of the goings on in the forums has taken a lot of time; as I mentioned before, that has translated into fewer updates here.
