Good afternoon Ladies and Gents,

With the recent addition of the Tanks ITOD to proceedings, I thought I'd give the RS a heads-up about the progress made within World of Tanks by the competitive side of the group REPUBLIC SHIELD [REPUB].

REPUB has been alive for 165 days. At present, FA Raven is my XO and I try my best to run the clan. Raven's job is to stop me being an Angry Brit and he also 'calls' (dynamic strategy) some battles in his mighty hellcat...and my job is doing everything else from diplomacy, recruitment, issuing gold, calling, managing...damaging tanks, training and keeping people solid in a collective unit. We've got our own teamspeak and shortly a webpage that will be linked to the RS main page. (Haven't spoken to josh about this yet!)

Tactical updates:

REPUB were the #1 gold generators (in game currency) and territory owners on the 2 previous maps, #2 overall in rating at the end of the last tier 6 tank map. So far we've swelled our ranks to 95 members (out of 100) and have obtained a high rank #59 on the North American server out of 5000 clans 9 days ago. We're currently ranked #119 as we are not taking part in the event on the Tier 8 tank map for a special tank, so we are penalised for this!

A recent event has just started on the Tier 6 tanks map (our normal map) and it has been running for 3 days, REPUB was ranked #1 on the 1st and 2nd days, day 3 we are currently ranked #3 out of 205 clans.

RS/REPUB lays a smack-down on the Empire:

Recently, a group of Latin clans demanded we hand over our territories and we essentially told them to...go away...not so politely: "Death to the Empire!"

A war was declared on REPUB and after much toil we emerged victorious. This lasted 7 days beginning on 5th October and ending on 11th October.

This conglomerate/group consisted of 30 clans from Latin Speaking countries and essentially they are nomads that threaten vulnerable people. They state that all of their tankers would attack and most people buckle at that point and give up to the blackmail/extortion. The groups name is the United Clans of Latin America (UCLA).

Most of their clans had on average 80 people per clan which equates to around 2400 tankers UCLA versus REPUB which had 84 tankers at the time.

After much toil, UCLA got bored of losing to us and stopped attacking after 7 days of constant waves of offence on their part. REPUB lost 1 match out of 44, (due to being only able to field 5 people out of 7 in one game!) a stellar record. The clan took my advice to make the fights embarrassing losses for the enemy and essentially to bloody their noses so they didn't come back. The callers and tankers took this on board and responded excellently. In the end we even started to take some of their territories and on the new tier 6 map UCLA is already losing territory to us and they've even requested to open up diplomatic links again....I think not.!

I have also included our current map location and also our ranking so that you are able to track us with the current competition, clan ratings and map.

We've also begun to recruit linguists who can speak English and another language to give us a larger pool of players to recruit from. For example we're in the process of setting up a Spanish speaking squadron with a dual nationality strategy caller. The idea here is we are recruiting the best players on the North American server, no matter what language they speak.

If you have questions about the game or how REPUB do things, I'd be happy to answer any you might have. If you want to get involved let me know. I'd be happy to help teach too and tank lessons/strategy etc are available.
