The Blitz Wargaming Club supports now also AGEOD games which are based on the ATHENA Engine, which are most of the AGEOD games. A ladder and a forum section have been established for the AGEOD games, together with a database which includes the scenarios of the supported games. The until now supported games are:
Alea Jacta Est

Birth of Rome
Civil War II
Civil War II The Bloody Road South

Thirty Years' War
To End All Wars
To End All Wars: Breaking the Deadlock
Wars of Napoleon
Wars of Succession

All those possessing one of these games and are interested in human opponents should join the club.

Overall the support of the AGEOD games should contribute to foster the gaming between human opponents, as the AI is usually only good up to a certain point where the experience of the player outnumbers the AI's capabilities. After this point only a human opponent can keep up the gaming fun. This is achieved through the support of the AGEOD games by the Blitz, but beyond this it should also improve the AGEOD games as every feedback is way more effective if both sides are human players and by that come to a more balanced feedback that can improve the games without bringing imbalance into the game.

All that know the Blitz Wargaming Club can't be told anything new, those that do not know it should only be referred to the motto of the club:
"Helping the Rookies, Connecting the Regulars, and Honoring the Hardcore Since 1999!"
