Wait please Yith.
We want an absolute, definate and positive press release - no vagueness, no if's and maybe's. Just doesn't look polished and professional.
ow... but I want to let people know!
I was only going to post this on our forums...
We did the same thing for the other events!
I know, and it looks really bad...
Not sure why...
Bit of both. Like all "based on fact" Airsoft events.
If we can do Arnhem without a Bridge, and the Battle of the Bulge without Panzers, then I dont see why we cant do a "based on fact" one with this.
now when you put it like that.... how about 'el alamain' with no sand for an xmas game ...
or CR without a V1 
Not sure why...
I outlined the reasons above. It just looks like you are rushing to be first with the news. We know this will be a sell-out so let's get it right! (Said with my marketing hat on!)
grr...
I suggest we announce nothing until I have had full confirmation from Andy, after i email him tonight.
Better to be 100% abso-feckin-lutely sure before anything is said.
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..........
Not sure why...
Yep -
Ah, but marketing isn't just about maximising profit!
I'm more concerned with our image and avoiding looking like a bunch of WW2 nuts throwing stuff together for the sake of a game. Let's keep it polished!
Anyhoo, as soon as we have a date confirmed, game outline sorted, game title sorted, ad banner sorted - then announce it publicly.
That's not to say we can't issue an 'internal' teaser - 'Keep your diary's clear for the 7th October. Information will be issued soon about a high intensity battle staged at a site in the South of England. Numbers will be strictly restricted - watch this space.' That kind of thing anyway.

ooo... can I? can I? 
Simple answer. No. I've emailed Andy to get confirmation of whats been said on the phone, and in person. Until I get confirmation back, no-one says nowt.

OK gents, ive got it on email from Andy - we're good to go for the 7th October. Abridged email below:
Hi Jay
Everything looks fine, I

We could stick 'the bunker' on the projector and really prep em...
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I'm assuming 40 players plus us six ?
Sounds fair enough Guy.
BTW Kermit, another (non-WW2) airsofter in my office is talking about maybe coming down on 7/8 July to the site as well, with a friend and was wondering about accommodation on site as well.
From a marketing POV I noticed CW (I think) saying that we were going to fully announce this after CR.
Does anyone think it might be a good idea to announce this a few days before CR so people can talk about it and get all excited on the night?
That way when we open bookings following CR we might get a bigger, faster response.
I'm no marketing expert but think a few pictures put up might get the hype going.
S
Sounds like an idea.
We can do pictures the week after Churchill's when we're at UCAP...
No hype required, I recon we have sold out already.
Only 20 per side - the problem we will have is folk complaining it sold out withion 24hours of booking list going up and they missed the posting!
