Mailing Lists

In the early days of the internet and the years just prior to the internet, war game players used mailing lists to find other players. On-line forums and interactive player platforms, like VASSAL, Aide-de-Camp, and Steam, have replaced these mailing lists. The Grognard Archive pages list many of the now defunct mailing lists that were active then.
