We want to find ways to get new people into the hobby. Guys who have just been playing the AI, or people that haven't even discovered the games yet.
I think that one of the best ways to find new players are good After Action Reports, especially with pictures. They can show what exactly is going on it this games. I for example, decided to buy HPS games, mostly because of 'Game Spotlight' on Rich Hamilton's old website. They contained general information about game and pictures. But good AAR's can be even better than this.
We have special room fot this here, but so far only four AAR appeared. English isn't my native language so I'm not writing my own AAR (it would be a comedy of grammar errors :laugh: ) but have nothing against if my opponent wrote it.

I've been putting out feelers onto various boards and such, but so far not too many bites. If people can talk about the games in any of their civil war settings then that may help. I.E. reenactors, history enthusiast, etc. Heck, it might even help if a few guys went up into the general ACW forums here and talked about the games...I just made a post there the other day!
Exactly. At least I'm doing what is in my power... Old Battleground games were published here in Poland and really many people liked and played them. I guess that at least better part of Old Guard didn't heard about HPS games. We are running here an ACW gazzette and in March owner allowed me to wrote few words about ACW computer games. Take a look guys, and if you don't understand something :laugh: JUST ASK!!

We've already appraoched the ACWGC with the proposal of a merger and it was rejected, so that's not an option...
Too bad that 'generals' didn't wanted to come here... But who know, maybe once... Anyway salute to Mark Nelms and Rich Hamilton as they are playing here with us, non-acwgc members :toast:
Regards,
Alex, Young Guard :laugh:
