How to get people(in this case,beta tester) to your games(in this case, wargames)?

a few days ago, I started a wargame test called "vox hole"(a gameplay test of steampunk, wargaming, and cardplaying, still in it its baby steps, but already got the main idea(as in the world) down)
I'm having a hard time trying to find people with the same games likes that I have(not much of a rpg or warhammer fan, (though may try shadowrun later on), and they seem to be the only games on here that anyone likes save me). how do you get wargaming testers on your games? yes, i know wargamers are kind of a dying breed in a way other then the big dogs as it were, but still, how do I find people?

a drawing I drew for my games.
if interested, feel free to speak up

do you have a pdf of mechanics? or a idea on now it may work?

still working on that, but i do have an idea of how it would work
It something like this(as in the place a card and put down unit), but more like axis and allies miniture and\or rivet wars. there also more to it, but that for another time.

you have a lot of grinding for mechanics, if your going to try to put this system to tabletop. is this game (Ironclad) your first base for the idea?
somewhat, I was think of something where you can buy units mid battle(form your deck) and stuff(like "timeline 300", a steampunk wargame along the lines of what I'm trying to do)
the other thing is I'm trying to do the axis and allies miniatures thing were you can chose your own unit form booster packs.(and put them on the field like ironclad above)
another thing i'm trying do is a more dystopian steampunk

Well as for wargaming I am still trying to test out Flames of War, fairly well set up but all of my Flames of War buds still hav'nt had the time to come over here and register, yet. Also just started playing around with War at Sea from A & A as well!!

Cheers

Tom
thank you for your support tom, link to this test is here if you want to play(keep in mind that I'm still making the rules and tokens for the game, but it shouldn't take long

No prob, us wargamers gotta stick together!! Ha Ha Let me know if your ever interested in checking out Flames of War bud.

Between work, GMing a Pathfinder game and playing in another one, hard to find the time for what one would like to do.

I'm am interested in flames of war(Roll20 gives more opportunity to do thing like flames of war because, well, it free for the most part and even then, when you pay $100 for one year for max membership, it still cheaper then 500 hundred for the same thing but well, real. makes it easier to try things like that)wheres this going down? I would really like to bring in a war train or a super tank like the m6(like the big war machines)

still need help with this

for anyone reading this now, the main way of playing change greatly
It still is a wargame involving cards, but it now more like a "round based" game inspired by TPS/RTS
