Pal, we were down 40 players one month and still held our own. It's all about the spirit! As the game area is so big, the days play is very tactical with small fire fights going on all over the map, so often it's about smart play over numbers for a side. Lots of different missions going on as well - holding areas for set amounts of time, retrieval of items, airlifts etc etc.....there is something for everyone. I'll hook you up with a couple of my guys briefly in the morning so you can get your bearings, then you play it how you want!
