RE: Why have different clubs
The best part of the Blitz is it's database. We don't use google spreadsheets or offline stats. The database is huge and contains over twenty years worth of data. Our online hosted forums, much nicer IMO than Facebook pages, also go back quite far and can be accessed towards the top using the "Archived Forums" link. Doesn't look too pretty, but it's fun to go back in time and read old threads. Both the database and the active and archived forums contain a wealth of searchable knowledge concerning wargaming and military history. I'm biased, but The Blitz really is the gold standard. Plus we have a phenomenal webmaster and very dedicated site officers who help whenever we can.
No reason not to join the lesser clubs, if you wish, I'm sure, for the most part we share the same members, except for the few (only three in CS I think since I started moderating) who have lifetime bans for egregiously breaking the rules.
One club you mentioned I can say unequivocally we will not be partnering with in any way whatsoever, but I for one would not be against friendly club vs club tournaments, depending on the club.
