As a military enthusiast, I just wondered where I could find some good Military forums where I can talk about things from WWI to present day Iraq GW2, any ideas? ---

In your case, does being a military enthusiast include having served in the military? ---

Gunboards.com is primarily concerned with collectible/military surplus firearms, but there are a LOT of knowledgeable military historians on there, too. ---

[Tanknet](http://63.99.108.76/forums/index.php?act=idx) is an interesting board, that emphasizes, but is not limited to, armored warfare, with some legitimate military historians as members. Our own **Paul in Saudi** is a regular poster there, although I haven’t seen him for a while (I mainly lurk myself). Be warned, though, that while the members are generally a civil, well-educated bunch, the board has a decidedly right-wing slant, so avoid if you’re easily offended. ---

Any forums dealing with military strategy tactics and policy?
