About this addon
What it does
The ultimate wargame companion for World of Warcraft. Challenge friends to arenas, battlegrounds, solo shuffle, and blitz all from one clean, fully themed UI.
What is Wargames+?
Wargames+ replaces the clunky default wargame interface with a modern, feature-packed panel. Browse your friends list, pick a map, pick a mode, and send the challenge. That's it. No slash commands, no memorizing map names, no hassle.
But it doesn't stop there.

Features
NEW to 3.0
Tired of spamming Trade Chat for wargames? Wargames+ 3.0 adds LFG — a built-in Looking-For-Wargames panel with cross-realm reach.
Getting started
1. Update to 3.0.0 and /reload.
2. Open the main window with /war.
3. Click the new accent-colored LFG button in the top-left.
Posting that you're looking
- Pick a bracket (2v2/3v3/5v5/Shuffle/BG/Blitz).
- Drop an optional note — "chill practice", "tourney prep", whatever.
- Click Post. You're live for 10 minutes, auto-refreshing every 2.
- Click Unpost to pull your listing early.
Browsing and challenging
- Left-click any row → fires a challenge instantly with a random map in the poster's chosen bracket.
- Right-click any row → context menu: Challenge, Start Veto (CS2-style map bans), Whisper, Add Friend, or Hide Poster.
- Filter bar above the list lets you narrow by bracket, faction (H/A/both), or search notes live as you type.
- [WG+] badge next to a name means that player has the addon, so challenge handshakes and veto are guaranteed to work.
- W-L column shows your head-to-head record against each poster — green if you're winning, red if you're not.
- Live / History toggle (top-right of the LFG panel) lets you browse recent advertisers even after they've dropped off.
Cross-realm reach (important!)
Posts automatically reach:
- Your guildmates on any realm (invisible addon traffic, no guild-chat spam).
- Members of the shared WargamesPlus community — cross-realm, cross-faction.
To unlock cross-realm matchmaking with strangers, join the community once:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/invite/ApGyKDyujND?region=US
then right-click the #lfg-traffic stream and mute notifications. That stream is addon-only traffic; you don't want to hear it.
The LFG panel footer shows your current reach at a glance: Reach: guild · WargamesPlus community
