Announcement of Retirement

Wild Bill,

Well, things change, and I sincerely hope this change will be the better thing for you.

However, this does not sound like a retirement for me, since you will continue with the WBR website and the for sites you sponsor and maintain on the Militarygamer. Of course, I am assuming that you will keep supporting my website, too. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Always remember that The ARMOR Site is and will always be your website, too! After all, if it were not for you, it would remain just another obscure website right to this day. You know, there are only so many Tiger lovers out there... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Your friend,

Fabio Prado

Happy retirement, W.B.! (What exactly is “retirement”, anyway?) Please, stay in touch with the community you helped build. Whenever I scan the posts here, I always look for your responses. If web forums like this are “virtual towns”, then you da mayor! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Best wishes!

Well, heck the AI can't handle the oposition all on its own though it will have to muddle through without one of its best, urhm, helpers.

Maybe you will now have enough time to stop playing games and relax. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Two days thinking about this and I am very sad...you and Paul were the first human words through this electronic world...the men who for first time in history of a wargame made us so much important...you will leave here a great lack of you Commander!!
Reading or hearing WBill means HOME to me..
despite what you decide you will ever have a place in our hearts....I do not know how much your decision is definitive..anyway remember deep inside my heart I will always hope some day after your relax , you will be back here..because you are a fundamental part of this new SPWAW's ERA..

Yep... without sounding too redundant... have a good one and thanks for everything you've done for the games we play. Have appreciated all the work you've put into the various games as well as the candor combined with camaraderie with which you've debated topics with the greater community. You'll be missed to whatever extent you're no longer involved in the various future projects.

Later, R

Well, it's done. On the road again. Thank you all for your support. Some of you have been out here as long or longer than I have.

My best to all of you. Bring on those games Matrix!

Sad to see you go despite all the grief you've caused me in my campaign to get promoted out in the field. Dont be too much of a stranger on the board and please accept a hearty 'thank you' for helping make my all-time favorite land-warfare game so much better than the orig as to entirely eclipse it.

i'll still be hanging on the corner, Nikademus, just checking you guys out. Now I'll have more time for devious scenarios and new challenges. Thanks so much for the kind words, all of you.
