Sure Mike...it is the part in bold.
<b>Sirs,
Now that the dust has settled on the points mess again, and I hope for the final time, I want to continue down the road. I would like to know where to start with things again so I ask for a few basic things. Since this is your Army, not mine, I would like to know what do you want us to do for you??
I'm looking for ideas on how to improve things or how to change things and if you wish to participate that great, if not that's fine too, it is wholly voluntary. So I will now ask a few simple questions:
1.) Would you like more information on what is going on in the Army:
a.) A news section to the Army website.
b.) Bi-monthly Army e-mail.
c.) Post in the forums.
2.) Would you like an Army wide maneuver every couple of months.
3.) Would you like more involvement from your Commanding officers. Example, playing multiplayers together.
4.) Do you like things the way they are and not be tinkered with.
5.) Your comments, suggestions, thoughts.
Now e-mail just me, and I'll go over it with the staff and see what we can come up with.
I'll do this on occasion to spark a little interest in things, or so I hope.
Again this is voluntary.
Thanks,
-Scott</b>
Responses I got were ranged from things are ok, to a lot asking for some type of maneuver or tourney with another Army. (That was really split down the middle.) Most were not interested in any type of mutliplayer, all citing the length issue and people dropping out. The news section was a good option a lot said, it varied from having it on the website, to posting in the forums, very few said an e-mail would be ok, so I created a news section already that I hope will grow in time. I even had people discuss their Command experiences and also things I could not control, but still the ideas expressed were good and the intention well meant. So it is kind of a bare bones, basic survey that any Commander should ask from time to time to see how people feel. I have not responded yet to anyone who submitted stuff, as I am expecting more. In one day I got 14 responses, which accounts for 25% of my Army. So not bad, but I got stuff from people I would never expect to hear from. So next week I will sit down with my staff and see what we can come up with. I hope it helps anyone else too.
