Well obviously post Wotan Rich, Evo and I can start promoting 'PBI' and getting more Brit players involved.
However in the long term how can we (by this i mean CIA and us guys) make playing allies more attractive.
As it is it seems german places are easy to fill and its a slog to get allies.
Perhaps we could subtly use more allied imagery on the pages... or when we do the kit guides fo the Yank and Brit ones first?
At the moment i just dont think people are seeing enough cool images,especailly in game pics featuring allies.
Not a major problme at the mo but may be something we coudl address early on rather than letting it become a problem?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Totally agree . We need more Allies , esp Brits.
If we don't act soon , the forum will be come very lopsided , which will add ot the problem even more. I'm not adverse to a bit of poking in the other direction .
There's also Webbys start at getting a team spirit together .
BTW heres another thought for getting people together socially that I used ot do with the LR club , museum meets . Pick a musuem of interest ot the Brits and arrange ot meet up there(in kit or not) . If nothing else it gets people to know each other as friends .
Re kit guides , if you've got some spare time at the mo perhaps get that one up and running .
Well, it's weird isn't it. Prior to CiA kicking off WW2 games the only cool kit was US Airborne and there wasn't enough players with Axis kit across the whole UK to make a side!
So you are right - it is a matter of perception. I happen to think Brit Dennison/Beret kit is the coolest of the lot!
Sure, I'll put as much Brit kit as you want on the web site - I was banking on getting some photography at Stubble's photoshoot so if we have Brits there that will be just the ticket.
Was does strike me as odd is the number of chaps that put together Brit kit for Arnhem consider it as secondary kit and don't seem to have a lot of attachment to it. I suspect this is where you and Yith come into it - if there is a dedicated Brit emphasis then the players will follow....
Make Brit Kit "sexy", and people will go for it. How you make it "sexy" is going to require some thought...
Play on the dashing, almost bucaneer-spirit of British Airborne and Commando units? I dunno, just chucking ideas around.
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
My pers thought would be to tag it to great fiction , ie have an Easy Company to match the 27th Pzrs . it's a bit blox, but might move it in the direction thats needed.
CWs comments about the Airborne kit is true , most do seem ot ignore it apart from Barry and Ann . I hate to say SAS , but is there not another mob you could get em into ?( South Staffs seemed tops at one point) Lovats Commandos .
