The solution is to expand the market we represent.
I propose that without any organization necessary everybody
who cares enough should make a point to try to introduce a
new player to the ever amazing world of sub sims.
just one guy that you convince its worth buying and trying can
make a significant difference and facilitate our continued viability
as a market, So its as simple as promoting your hobby to your friends.
The bonus is that for the first time ever their may be another subsimmer
within fifty miles of you now.
Oh and maybe this time when it comes out we could emphasize whats
good about the game with a few expletives, and just report whats wrong
with it without the expletives and drama. You have gotta figure that being
a sub sim dev must feel like a damned thankless job after release day.

OK, since the idea to drive flight-simmers over here to enlarge the community won't work, maybe there is some other way...
I like to play Battlefield 2 online (modern era).
In BF 2 you can choose:
- be infantry (about 8 specializations to choose from)
- drive armor (different types)
- drive APG (different types)
- drive mobile air defence
- drive transport helicpoter
- drive assault helicopter
- drive fighter
- drive land transports
- man land-based installations like air defence or anti tank
- drive transport boats
There are up to 64 players in the same game, in two rival factions.
BF2 has a ranking system and awards/medals.
Performing well, allows to unlock new weapons to use.
This games in based on online-play.

Now trying to make a parallelism to the naval battlefield. (after BF, NF ?
)
In NF you have the ability to:
- man an attack submarine
- man ASW helicopter (uhm that sounds vaguely familiar
)
- man ASW aircraft (uhm this starts to sound quite familiar
)
- man a boomer
- man Fighter
- man a Destroyer (
wait now I remember! the game is called
"Dangerous Waters" 
)
My mission is to convince30% of the SH players to try Dangerous Waters
