A few of the old timers may remember me - JanS. I could not make my old login work unfortunately.
Some 20+ years ago I sent Joel Billing a message asking if they wanted me to take a look at their code for the original GGWaW - their main programmer Keith was tied up with other projects so I offered to fix a few bugs for the fun of it.
I ended up working freelance for 2by3 Games for a few years - while working a regular job as a high school teacher - and I had great fun both playing the games and working on AWD and a Civil War game. I seem to remember that another gamer else took over the freelance position after I stopped.
I also had great fun playing against some high quality players - I just reread a few of the AARs from those games and they brought back good memories.
A few weeks ago I reinstalled GGAWD and have played a few games solo against the AI since. A decisive win as the Axis on Hard (Arsenal of Democracy) and a Drew as the Allies also on Hard (Axis Blitz). I made a few really stupid mistakes in the latter preventing me from landing in Japan in the Fall taking the game down to a Draw.
I just installed the unofficial 1.071 mod which I intend to play next. Much appreciate the hard work on that Jesse.
