About This Page
Each week, COMBATSIM.COM visits the most active combat simulation community sites on the Internet. In this single report, published every Friday, we give you links to all the latest news, articles, forum discussions, links, downloads, events and contests.
Since these are just the early days of this report, we realize we have yet to include many fine fan sites. If you would like to see your (or someone else's) site on this list, please contact our News Editor.
Please keep in mind that the main criteria for inclusion on this page is that you have regularly updated material in the form of original articles, news, files (e.g., skins, maps, mods), or message boards. If your site is selected, we will visit it each week and find out what's new—you will not need to send us any info.
