I feel this needs to be said our team has experienced a contradicting growth, while we now have new members it feels that activity in our team is substantially lower. The amount of battles we have had has increased by roughly 80-100 though they seem to be mostly losses by the recruits. I feel the newer recruits need to be trained more, or given a set of rules dictating what kind of missions they can do alone as not to lower team praise. Such as having a senior member accompany them on a 10,000 point invasion untill they can go through on their own, or requiring the hiring of mercs. Sorry for the rant. (this refers to the US recruits those of you in EU servers continue the good work)
