Three Years and Counting

[Wild Bill]

THREE YEARS AND COUNTING!

This month (October 31st, 1997) marks the 3rd anniversary of the Wild BIll and the Raiders page. Hard to believe, isn't it? During this time we have seen published dozens of articles, support and coverage for all SP games and a number of their variations and over 600 scenarios and campaigns produced for your gaming pleasure.

Raiders have also had a role in the development of many of your favorite games in a beta testing role, including Steel Panthers III, SPWW2, SPWAW, Panzer General II, Pacific General, Combat Mission, TOAW and TOAW II.

Now we've branched out into a design editing page for other games, including all the SP series, Combat Mission and the Campaign Series of games.

Its a moment of reflection and celebration. There have been good times and hard times, but we are still here, largely thanks to all of you.

We are greatful for the supportive encouragement from all of you during these three years.

My personal thanks go out to all the Raiders, past and present, who have shown real grit in putting up with me and doing such a fine job.

Another new batch of material and scenarios from the Raiders is now available for you. The scenario design center offers tips and hints on your favorite games, plus well tested scenarios to keep your gaming experience excting.

Come to see us. You'll find good stuff on the Campaign Series, Combat Mission and all of the versions of Steel Panthers.

And share our joy in having survived these three years of hard work. Its been fun!

Congradulations and a Happy Anniversary Raiders.

May the next 3 tears be as rewarding and produtive as the last 3.

[Drex]

This is another case where so many owe so much to so few. Wild Bill and his brethren give new meaning to the word devotion. "Thank you" just doesn't seem adequate but words fail me.

[Wild Bill]

Your notes and congratulations are all very encouraging, gentlemen. I thank you on behalf of all the Raiders for your support.
