Here is my take on all this.

1. Most of your posts are seriously book chapter length and personally I don't have the time to wade through it all, I'd would better spend my time on reading up on research items so I can create scenarios then read through such lengthily posts.

2. In this post alone you use the word "error" eight (8) times and frankly that is not a way to win any friends.

3. I have been playing the Steel Panthers series since 1995, I have played them all and my personal opinion is that SPWW2 and MBT are by far the best out of all them and both games evoke that same feeling I had when I first played SP 1 back in 1995 and then a few weeks later got the Campaign disks. I also am or have been a long time board war gamer (since 1978) and have a lot of experience and knowledge of the Squad Leader and Advanced Squad Leader systems. I have also done a fair amount of research on military history. With all that said is WW2 and MBT perfect? No, but in my mind both games are simply the best for two reasons. Don and Andy, they have spent over 22 years of working on both games-and have put up with the likes of us the playing community-and SPWW2 and MBT are the only games in the series that has been constantly updated, upgraded, tweaked, bugs squashed, and enhanced out all the games. Just let that sink in for a moment and then be thankful we even have what we have. I know I am.

4. You seem to come in to the forums alot with what I personally think is the wrong approach. Instead of coming in and blasting out that the game is in error and full of bugs and how you think its broken and no good and have a bunch of ways to improve and fix things. (See that should indicate to you how not to approach things or people.) You would probably get more results if you came at much differently. Like, hey I think the games are fantastic and I am having a blast, I do have a few questions though. Why is system X like so and so? And let the designers and the community give you an honest answer. Then accept that line of reasoning and try to understand it.

I fear I have spent too much time on this post and worse that you won't understand or won't even take it to heart, so its all just been a waste of my time and now I am beginning to understand why the developers have frustration with your posts, because of your long responses back and your ignoring of their input to begin with.

Good luck and hope it makes sense, if not...

I have scenarios to complete.

PS Thank you Don and Andy for 22 years of selfless sacrifice and in giving me decades of gaming pleasure, you two are the best.
