Forum Conscript
Hi Guys, first of all, i'll try & do my best by you and the club. I'm always open to ideas/thoughts, and of course games. 
One of the things i have tried to do via these forums is "train" (as i was by Col Kilgore), or help explain the game to newbies, so that they can rapidly develop and start winning (as well as enjoying playing). So i have played games for fun (as are all my games i'll add, and not for logging on the table), and hopefully explain my tactics and reasons why. For those i have played against, this has become a two way street as i constantly forget things (age i guess), and learn new ones. What i'm proposing is a buddy system where grizzled vets play for fun the newbies, the wooden cross recipients and those who want to learn to play better. Sharing knowledge and keeping those at the bottom of the table interested, so that they play more games and stay excited by this venerable, but still excellent game - (i fervently await Jason's PB2 disc). A shared experience through the form of sitreps, interesting info etc will keep everyone involved.
The second thing is, this is a small club (the Campaign series), with excellent committed players, with some crossover with the Blitz. The question is, why is their membership for the Campaign series huge, with a large volume of games and postings. For those of us who have contact with the other side, i ask u to make it your mission to talk to these players, ask them to join us & bring new blood to the club. Swell the membership, get more games played, more topics started and experience shared.
cheers for now
Robert
