19 wargames have been active on EU since late legion, they are still continuing today, usually consisting of 2-3 nights a week of 10v10 warsong gulch games. Now would be the time to get involved since it's a lot of newer players playing, so if you don't want to be super far behind everyone, getting involved quickly is best!
The wargames are usually hosted on both alliance and horde, with guilds consisting of:
Better Luck Next Time - located on Draenor Horde
Soulbound - located on Ravencrest Alliance
The Sleepless Knights - located on Argent Dawn Alliance
Better Luck Next Time - located on Draenor Horde
Soulbound - located on Ravencrest Alliance

Wargames are a unique way of playing warsong gulch and have a 'moba' feel to the game using your resources wisely and moving certain classes around to counter other players.Lopio (GM of BLNT) Lopió#8405

The last few months we have had plenty of wargames between the three guilds. Both experienced and new players have been participating in the games. Activity is growing rapidly within the 19 bracket, and therefore we have come up with and put together this thread in hope of encouraging players to establish their own teams to participate and compete in the weekly wargames with us.
The 19 bracket is a very competitive scene, wargames are easy to get into but yet there is a big skill gap between the best and the worst players within the bracket, meaning it will take time to get extremely good at. Currently the games aren't at an extreme competitiveness level, so it's easy to join no matter your experience with the bracket. We also have a lot of experienced members always playing to help guide you in the right direction.

As you can see it is also a very punishing bracket depending on your positioning which trains you to place yourself in better positions and regardless what bracket you play in, this will stand by you.
Not to mention 19s is the only bracket to have held numerous tournaments within twinking with prizepools of over $5000! Which we hope to bring to EU some day.

Consequential Action (Read this carefully)
If any of the above rules are broken, they will be taken into judgement by a multitude of people- from the player’s team who had broken the rule to the enemy team, and any officer, moderator, or coordinator online during this time.
If someone breaks the guidelines/format code, then their actions will be judged as a minor offense or as a major offense.
Major offenses will automatically disqualify the team who had broken the rule from the game, or, in other words, automatically determine the game as a loss. Major offenses are game changing offenses, and will be treated as so.
Minor offenses are minor actions which are determined illegal by the rule set. They will not end a game unless used an extended amount of times (set limit is 3). If a party is determined to be doing this purposely, and do not recognize it, then they will be given a major offense.
If a team constantly attempts to manipulate by threatening to leave, then they may do so. This team will thus be temporarily banned from participating in wargames until they admit to their manipulation. They will be determined a manipulator based off heavy judgement by multiple party members subject to their style of manipulation. It is not a one-day decide they are guilty deal, as they are innocent until proven guilty.
The act of manipulation includes various terms. These terms would include: Forced change of composition on various occasions constantly, leaving a threat to leave the wargames on the table if something they wanted is not done, playing innocent as if they had never read these rules, or manipulation of an enemy player to obtain an advantage of any sort for their own party. Any action which can be related to manipulation may be taken into heavy judgement by a multitude of parties to determine it manipulation. It is the player’s fault to not ask for guidelines if they are new to the wargame scene. Their GM can also be put at fault if the format is not put on advertisement, however, this can only be said once a rule has been broken, as they are innocent until PROVEN guilty on an event.
