After 5 years a Rook its been a genuine privilege to fight on the Bish team for the past 3 tours. It has been a very cool experience to fight alongside former adversaries and to fight former teammates. I highly recommend to all players to try a different country for a tour or two, it really freshened up the game for me. Soon I'll look forward to fighting for the Knights, then rotating back to the Rooks.
When I switched to Bish, my reception was understandably a little chilly at first with some of the Bish players due to the circumstances under which I switched, but it thawed out pretty quickly I think. So don't let that discourage any consideration of switching sides, the cool players vastly outnumber the few hotheads that are present on all sides. Eventually, even the hotheads will work with you on taking bases, etc. As former military (and a very average AH player) this is the aspect of the game I enjoy most, working as a team.
Anyway, thats my 2 cents, don't want to get too mushy lol <S> all!
