Before It Happens

Post by Wild Bill »

The Internet will soon be flooded with Christmas greetings by the dozens. What a neat way to wish a Happy Holiday to those who mean so much! Before it happens, I want to slip mine in here to you.

Nothing ostentatious, just a heart full of gratitude to all of you, who have made my life so full and so enhanced my wargaming experience.

So from me and Lady Beth, a very joyous season for you and yours. Thank you for all your efforts, but most of all for your friendship.

What a fantastic experience SPWAW has been for me! I finally got the one I wanted for so long!

Same to you and all the Raiders, Bill. I really can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had with this amazing game you guys decided to release (and continue to support) for free(!).

I got to the bocage fighting in U2R last night (it's slow going because I have a number of Email games going as well) and expect to enjoy that campaign until well after christmas. Thank you again for being such a devious, underhanded and _good_ designer.

Many thanks - WB......and to the folks at Matrix, the testers, and a countless host of others.

At times I'm not sure which I enjoy more - the forum or the game!

The best to you and yours...........
