  Wargames+ 3.0.0

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.

  Under the hood (nerd notes)

  - 12.0.5 compatibility: challenge handshakes now fire before zone-in, and post-match results flush on zone-out,
  working around Blizzard's new in-instance addon-comm restrictions.
  - Posts carry no visible chat traffic — guild transport is an addon message, community transport is a hidden stream.
