Hopefully generating interest back to the sport will be an inspiration for more events🦊

Root of the Solution;
I agree that dramatic authentic events, WWll themed video games and movies and all the other suggestions play a part in attracting new participants.
However the root of the problem / solution is why there is such a high attrition of those who discontinue and fall away. If we can retain more of those players and draw others by powerful positive attraction it would generate an increase in numbers, and the quality of enjoyment of our dedicated enthusiasts.
There is always a problematic equation of balancing available time and money with commitments to work family and other hobbies and interests. However, in my experience it is the camaraderie, respect, and esprit de corps that we bring to the sport and regard to others that makes this fun and keeps us coming back and has the opportunity to attract others.
Unfortunately there are those in our ranks who negatively drive dedicated seasoned players and new raw recruits away with chicken criticism and judgement.
Expressing an authenticity opinion as, "you don't know anything", besides being unqualified is a discouraging bullying.
If a when new recruit or dedicated member expresses a desire to attend an event without committing, and it is negatively met with "that is not good enough" it is the opposite of powerful positive attraction - discouraging bullying.
We do not have to agree with everyone else or settle for lesser authenticity or participation standards, but if when issues arise our members are slammed with negative criticism and unwarranted judgement it will both drive away both our best and promising new members from our ranks. When this bullying is done behind someone's back we have fallen from comraderie and esprit de corps to gossiping high school girls.
Bringing the respect and high regard for this sport to all of our dedicated and new members, as well as to those in the reenacting community who would detract us, is what is needed to attract and keep the best in our ranks. I firmly believe the winners should stick together!
Thank you! Shutze Fritz

In my experience the judgemental, and overly critical attitude of some of those in the sport has done more to drive away those already involved and interested than could be hoped for in future recruitments.
With respect,
Shutze

Steven's Point sounds great! Looking forward to period camping and a fall campfire on 100 acres and room for the armor to really maneuver, for an epic battle. Hopefully the G&G MG42 will be released by then With respect, Shutze Fritz

HornetWSO, when you say most of the vendors were there; was Eric or Trish Grigsby there by any chance?
Has anyone seen, dealt with or heard from him since he disapeared owing myself and others hundreds of dollars last year?
With respect, Fritz

I purchased the mouse grey parka and pants from SM Wholesale www.smwholesale.com/0029.html They lengthened the sleeves at no additional cost to accomodate my knuckles usually dragging on the ground. Well made, prompt shipping, personal service. My only concern is that, especially while skirmishing and with the matching pants it is far too warm, unless of course braving the windchill of riding open topped in a SK DF 251 at speed. With respect, shutze fritz

Rekkon, Any preview on the scenarios that you are planning for game play? Are we stealing rations or hunting for gold bars in the tractor factory? Or is it verboten top secret- With respect, Fritz

Agreed. It is affirmative that the prices from this vendor are good.
However, I prefer not having to sweat if the product will arrive and what is the quality when it does arrive.
With respect, Fritz

I ordered from them.
The order was not shipped untill I went on their website and inquired.
Quality and service was only adequate. I was concerned as no phone # was listed.
Better quality, and service can be found elsewhere.
With respect, Fritz

It seems a natural and inevitable progression to incorporate armor in any Ostfront engagement. After all Grenadier tactics would require this to some degree. IMHO. With respect, Fritz
Otto thanks for the clarification on the fetal position, I was assuming it was just "nap time".

I guess we will have to be prepared to shell out big bucks for those autographs ... if they even remember the little people they knew back when. With respect, Fritz

I have read, although not verified, that the red stripes were from feed sack material that was pressed into service.

I apologize for my newbie ignorance but is this the panzer faust used with nerf rockets as suggested and is there a source for these rockets as well. My search was unable to come up with any answer. With respect, Fritz

A number of us left our helmets in the panzerwagen this engagment due to full seal googles being required at this field, and problematic for some to fit with a helmet. As for others; a number of the Germans was a contingent of 6th SS Nord mountain troops who favored their caps. My 42 with snow camo cover was ready and my ESS goggles are made for helmet use. However, I always follow orders by my unit commander.
With respect, Fritz
