[timshin42]

May i echo the words of you guys who have already spoken? JTCS and Jason get my vote!

Merely a flea in the tail of a bear, I am.

I mean no disrespect to the other contributors, but that's either a very large flea or a very small bear.

It's great there's a team. I can't imagine taking this on alone.

Three cheers for Jason petho, doesn't his name just roll of your tongue??[:D]
I find myself at work or just daydreaming saying his name....[;)]

We'd be nowhere - tthat is where we'd be.

Is it permissible to offer a nugget of praise to Wyatt, Asiaticus, and the rest as well? All top notch. All heroes. All gentlemen. Their work is why I am not interested in hybrid concoctions with borrowed graphics and the such. I get what I want right here. It may have its flaws - and boy, does it - but the CS offers more than just a dry sim. It is a world unto itself wherein I have had many happy adventures. With what has happened already, I wait with baited breath for 1.03. I am in a paroxsymally delightful agony waiting on this puppy.

To all in the CS Legion...

I doff my beret to all of you and if I could drink I would put down a Guiness on your collective behalf...

Very well said!!!!

Absolutely.

I spent many an hour playing Panzerblitz, Squad Leader and its variants and Panzer Leader back in the day (and my wife "forgot" to pack them so they are gone) --- and it was just about that time my brother shows up with a CD and says "hey look at this -- is like Panzerblitz" and we spent a while playing "Checking the Blitzkreig" (and unfortunately I managed to "disable" a T-34 with my 150 mm infantry gun... which lead me to believe it was an effective AT weapon--- it was about a year later that I got WF and read the appendix about HE vs. Armor and realized that that was a lucky shot and I was wasting HE against tanks).

Is it the perfect game system? No. Has it provided hours of entertainment and diversion for me? Yes.

So hip hip for Jason and all others.

And as far as H. Blak goes, I hope that something is being lost in the translation, because if its not, then I agree with Big Dawg. Despite his being a Dawg.

Thanks again Jason Petho!!!![&o][&o][&o]

For Jason: Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!

Thanks for all the kind words, gentlemen. It is appreciated.

Where do we see CS going in the next 3-5 years and will Jason even be at the helm ? I wouldn't expect it from him - he has done his part.

I have been active with the Campaign Series since it came out in 1997 and don't plan on going anywhere.

The future of the Campaign Series is already in the works behind the scenes.

Jason: Don't bother with these few pesky flies circling around the garbage dump. We know you are here to stay and we DO appreciate EVERYTHING you do for the sim and for it's users.

Hermann: Your hero worship is sadly misplaced. Let's see...you said "Back to the title of the post..." Okay....the TITLE of the post is "Three Cheers for Jason Petho". Now, where in the heck does it say anything about criticizing the 1.03 patch or listening to Mr. blah blah blah Balck and his pre-release criticisms. And if you can't see his criticism read this a few times over..."I hope, this is all full funktionally and not write with an ResHacker-programm"?
I'm not criticizing Balck's English. I AM crirticizing his opinionated know-it-all attitude and his OFF TOPIC comments. Let me try and get it through your thick head again....this is NOT a thread about mods or suggestions for changes. There are OTHER posts for that. This thread is about our heartfelt thanks to a guy that has busted his butt for the sim and those who use it. If you don't have anything nice to say about Jason, then DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!

OK now can we talk reality ?

That you and Mr. Dumbassrocks are still, after all this time, A$$holes?

Ed,Ed,Ed You can't unscramble scrambled eggs. The frustrated ex-STASSI informant and his idiot cousin are always up for a little stupidity [;)]

You people are pathetic. You live and die waiting for me to post something here so that you can say something "cute" or nasty in reply. Move on people. This sim is dead and buried. Get a freaking life besides kissing the butt of a guy who couldn't care less about you or this vaporware. Tiller IS updating his other releases. Nothing is being done with this one except for one guy trying to figure out this mess. You'll all be in your graves and still be kissing butt for an update.

The irony of the post.
I thought you were done and not going to bother posting about CS?

Use Chapstick if you are going to be kissing butt. But, that would then be a butt kissing a butt. Will wet wipes work better?

The horror. The horror.

Yawn, same old crap, I see.. Yeah, abandoned, is why Slitherine just signed myself and others for the devel team....officially... I keep coming over here periodically to see if anything is constructive going on, but alas is still always negative bashing. The programmer is making leaps and bounds BTW, so don't give up on it.

[wings7]

The Campaign Series and related are in good hands! Ignore all the negative comments! Rome was not built in a day and good things happen to all that wait!

Patrick

[Warhorse]

Indeed they do!!

[Deputy]

Rome????? ROFLMAO!!! First off this sim is almost as OLD as Rome and still has the same problems it had back in it's early days. More new members of the "development team". Just what EXACTLY are you "developing"? This thing doesn't need development. It needs an "error/bug correction" team. As in that STILL ONGOING bug of the AI trucks and command vehicles burning off movement points. Oh wait...nobody plays against the AI...I forgot. So that bug just gets shoved aside in favor of things like troops holding horses reins. I wonder how many "development teams" this sim has had since it's inception? What happened to the other guy that was just hired and that everyone prased as the rescuer of this mess? Did he quit already? Or is the development team now as big as all of Matrix? Oh yeah...you guys are working for "gratis". What that translates into is things will be fixed when you get "a round toit". Haven't seen any round toits, so that equates to probably never.
Why do I keep posting here? I'll counter that question with "why do people continue to attack comments I made YEARS ago?" If people would just STFU and stop dredging up ancient history, I wouldn't keep replying to their silly posts. I haven't unsubscribed to this thread and a couple of others in the (vain) hope that a patch promised YEARS ago might actually show up. But instead of a patch, we get more guys being assigned to "development teams" doing god-knows what. Let me just repeat for those that skimmed by it...it's been YEARS, soon to be a DECADE, since the patch was promised. And we still have zip, nada, zero in the form of patches.

[Jason Petho]

Aww, muffin.

It will be OK.

In all due respect to you I must make some comments to your post here. Yes, the errors and bugs need to be fixed (the AI trucks and command vehicles) and some others but the good points of the game certainly outweigh the negative points. I am confident these errors will be fixed in time, that involves patience, something that you seem to lack. If you have some program experience or ideas why don't you help to fix these errors, I wish I had that talent because I would certainly try to help. This game is a labor of love, so like a child in his teens the game will eventually grow up and be pretty much error free. If you don't have the patience why don't you stick with Squad Battles (a excellent game!) and stop with all the negative comments about our beloved Campaign Series...we need encouragement, ideas and program help above all! Happy Gaming to you!
