You mean the guys from a quarter of a century ago at Battlefront?

Yeah. I haven't ordered this because I am trying to test, and fix bugs, and re-test, squash more bugs, re-re-test, etc. my Euro scenario, but likely will at some future date, with the aim to expand my existing Pacific map, if I can...

I lurked and laughed out loud, on the SC1 Battlefront Forums.
That's more years ago than I care to remember.
Still playing Tacops.

I'm not sure if your question is in reference to a specific game, but I've been on the Matrix forums, and doing AARs for a while (since 2002). Started playing Matrix's "Uncommon Valor", and did a few PBEM AARs, and some "Name the Mystery Ship" series. There are several here that that we've migrated around a few of the games, including the (original) "War in the Pacific" (and it has an AE version also).

How did you retrieve it?! No matter, I've (re)grabbed the pic from your post, and will update my Signature soon!

Yep. He's actually still playing a WitP-AE game vs. KBullard. He shows me their game when I'm over there for BBQ. They're finally in 1945, and he's invading Okinawa and nearby stuff. Last I checked, hasn't invaded Japan yet.Is Knavey still around?

Knavey and I had a team game vs. KBullard and LtFighter. LtFighter had a heart attack, so we closed that game. Then Knavey and KBullard restarted their own game (Dec 20, 2009). It's been going on for almost 15 years at this point.

Cool. Many eons ago, you requested a sig image in this thread. I volunteered, so I still had it about in a dusty back-up drive.Feinder wrote: Thu Jul 25, 2024 3:31 am I know right! I loved that pic! I somehow lost it!

Woah a game that has been going on for 15 years that is amazing! That is some dedication right there! So many have moved on since those days or passed away that it is hard to keep up with what has happened to everyone. Sometimes you hear of their passing and sometimes they surprise you and pop in out of nowhere.Feinder wrote: Thu Jul 25, 2024 11:37 amYep. He's actually still playing a WitP-AE game vs. KBullard.

Platoonist! You made so many great sigs for everyone including mine! I also lost mine at some point in the forums changing and found it again somehow. I think maybe you found it for me again as well I cannot remember now. You really added some flare to the forum we thank you for those contributions again!Platoonist wrote: Thu Jul 25, 2024 11:54 amCool. Many eons ago, you requested a sig image in this thread.

Uncommon Valor works fine on modern computers. You just just need to run it using DxWnd.Tanaka wrote: Thu Jul 25, 2024 3:36 amOh wow I remember you both! Is Knavey still around?

I think I remember trying to get it to work this way a long time ago but I either could not get it to work or get the display to look right. Wish this campaign had been ported over to WITPAE...IslandInland wrote: Sat Jul 27, 2024 9:18 amUncommon Valor works fine on modern computers.
