Events of War...

Look, Battleground team tourney shows up!

I've been wanting to build this sort of thing for a while.
IMHO, it's a great idea (so many events go by that people don't even know about)...

However, also IMHO, this is pretty badly done.   Would it be so hard to grab my IP address' location and center the map there?   To filter out events that have already occurred, etc?   I could do this way better.  Would anyone be excited about that?

I like this thing.

So I've been thinking about something like this for a while.  Some sort of app or website for or owned by the store that does this exact same thing for various games, but targeted a lot more towards the New England area.

Unfortunately, I have no real idea how to do this or we might collect the relevant event info without requiring someone to manually enter stuff.

I figure it would be a solid way to channel people towards the site, see our ads, promote out events, and check out our online store once we get the ball rolling with that (as far as minis go).
