Hi, Bullet Magnet--I've missed you over here. Yes, Michael deserves praise for keeping the "best tactical wargame ever" (my words) in his spotlight. For him, as well as everyone who has worked on various aspects of it, it is a labor of love.

He dropped out of the heavens, so to speak, and I've had my faith renewed in the future of the "old warhorse". [&o]

I'm really happy to see you back, Bullet Magnet. Haven't played SPMBT -- I have a lot of stuff on my plate right now.

I too, thought there ought to be a thank you thread.
Most of us thought that 7.1 was the end.
Good to see someone with the inside scoop able to try some new twists.
Hats off to Mike!

Cant even begin to express the gratitude I have for Mike and all the people who give us the workings and scenarios, etc. That goes for Alby and Wild Bill too. And dont forget those in the background that also do the playtesting and such. I have played wargames, both board and computer, I used to love the 88, panzer, (cant remember the 3rd of the series) board games. I have played micro-armor and such, but SPWAW has been and is by far my favorite. So to all thank you and thanks for the continued upgrades and such.

Hello...

Was an internal playtester for the 88, Panzer and Armor games at Yaquinto. Long time ago. Influenced SPWAW design.

Bye...

I'm thankful Mike writes at all. Programmers don't have much time for small talk. Too much programming to do--too little time to do it.

I met Mike in Los Angeles back in 2000 at E3 with a bunch of the Matrix guys, and we had an awesome time. He's a great guy, uber programmer, and one of the mainstays of SPWAW.

THANKS MIKE!

Michael, we have had our ups and downs through the years, but it was my pleaaure to work with you and Nocastar and of course, here in the development of SPWAW.

You indeed have contributed so much. Remember those long conversations often at night during the development of SPWAW. I remember them well.

I hope you are well. Thanks.
