I'm less bothered about how to make things better for the 4 or 5, as we have already crossed the first hurdle of wanting to build a combat capable tank - what is needed is to find away of making the rest of the group feel like this is something they want to get involved in.
Well, there is nothing wrong with people showing up just to chat about other aspects of the hobby. They obviously like that, they show up. As for getting more people interested in the battle aspect, I think you do that
by making it better for the 4 or 5. Right now you say the battles are boring and participation is halfhearted. Others wont join in unless they see people having fun with it. Make it fun, more will join.
