Wargamer.com History

Mario Kroll, a former member of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps and MBA graduate student, founded Wargamer.com in September 1995, as a vehicle for locating and pairing up potential opponents for the play of war and strategy games via email (PBEM). Since then, Wargamer.com has more than doubled annually in terms of website scope, content, functionality, readership, and traffic. (In 2001 alone, the site grew in traffic by over 500 percent and, in Spring 2001, Hot100.com rated Wargamer.com as number 66 of the most popular Internet gaming sites on the World Wide Web.) It is now a highly popular Internet destination and the cornerstone of The Wargamer Network.
