I'm new here, obviously, so forgive my unfamiliarity with your identities. I have a suggestion:
I happened to notice that you offer Matrix and other apparel, here on your site. Now that you are working with WWIIO, you should really,
really talk to Al "rafter" Corey from CRS about offering T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, etc. with Matrix
and WWIIO logos. They would sell like wildfire.
We're a passionate bunch about our game, and we number in the thousands.
I'm particularly interested in a sweatshirt or long-sleeved t-shirt.
To give you an idea, I already have 2 WWIIO T-shirts, and 3 squad shirts. People were forever coming up to me asking what Cornered Rat Software was, about WWIIO, etc..
Couldn't ask for better marketing..... especially when a good-looking bloke like m'self is sporting it.

Matrix tries to be a can do company. I will talk with Al and see what we can do.

Good deal, Dave!
He's home sick today. I'm not kidding you, either.... there was a promotion in the early summer where they offered an official WWIIO t-shirt in exchange for (get this): pre-paying for the game for a
YEAR. We're talking $129, here.
People
DID it!
I did it. *shaking head*
Rafter's already got the graphics for it, obviously. You could have it up & running in no time flat. (I've done cafe-press stuff... that's where our squad's shirts came from.) I really like your logo, too.
Congrats on the partnership with CRS. They are a great bunch of guys, and their product is the best form of computer entertainment I've ever owned, barring none. We're a tenacious bunch.

I'm a WW2Ol gamer as well and I second that motion.
The news about Matrix getting involved has got us all fired up (you should see our OT forum).

Please PLEASE make sure they get rid of the logo on the old shirts! I want to get that Generic WWII ONLINE Logo that they have all over the website and what have you. The way the Shirt was before looked very... how can I put this... ghey? And make them available in black, not white. No one wants white shirts anymore.
Suggestions:
Put Generic WWII
-----------ONLINE
on the back of the shirt, with a matrix games logo below it.
Then, on the front, have it say in a SANS sarif font: There is only one true virtual battlefield... (white letters on black effect)
That would sell a TON of shirts.

Merciful, you forgot teh Matrix..... they need their props too, and I really like their logo.
Something like that new screen Rafter did with the game that was the WWIIO in bold with a smaller Matrix logo to the top-middle-left would ro><. Something similar for the shirtpocket.
Oh, and you should have seen the black T-Shirts Doc brought to the mini-con. They looked awesome.
