Status: offline 		Well I have finally returned home again. My time in the Army is rapidly drawling to a close. I'm impressed by all the changes and additions to the game since I left. Also glad to see the boards as active as ever. I'll be using this name from now on as somehow a problem developed with my old name. I hope all of you are well and I look forward to taking a more active part in the boards once again. On another note I'll have my hands full trying all these new/remade scenarios and campaigns. Especially Wild Bill's famously tricky campaigns. Talk to you all soon and I hope the New Year has been kind to you all thus far. ------------------ Former member of the 8th US cavalry and a grandson of a Leibstandarte tanker.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the warm welcome gentlemen. To Blitz, hang in there, you ain't seen nothing yet. AS for me everything is going well. I'm due for discharge soon and accepted an offer for a company in NW Indiana. It will break my heart to leave the Army, but it's time I put more thought into what's best for my family. Besides I'd like to become more activly involved with Matrix and it's game. Even if that only means offering suggestions on the boards. Finally I'll be able to devote the time to finishing all the scenarios I've thought of as well as a campaign I've been story-boarding for quite some time. I pose a question to you all. I want to do a campaign centered around the Leibstandarte. Would in your opinion it be best to concentrate on one specific campaign (i.e. Kursk) or better to do the whole war? I'd want the same amount of detail in both so I guess it boils down to time. If in your opinion a full war campaign would be best how many battles should I limit it to and how many am I limited to with the game? Well that's all for now, I'm sure I'll have questions later. Thanks gentlemen for your insite on this. ------------------ Former member of the 8th US cavalry and a grandson of a Leibstandarte tanker. Former name on these boards was Leibstandarte.

Status: offline 		Welcome Home. Glad you made it Home safe, now go see a doctor about radiation you might have pick up while over there, that has been in the news on the BBC and some us news stations. To do a campaign[see I learn how to spell it]on the ist SS panzer Div. would be interesting, seeing as how the division, was in almost every theater of the war eccept, North africa. You could start with poland or france then the balkans, then some in russia, then some with D_Day to bulge then finish in russia. Just a thought. Don

NW Indiana??? Isn't that the South Side of Chicago! Atleast the cost of living is resonable, but you might want to wait until this winter is over. Best of luck and I'm sure we'll all be awaiting to hear how you're transisting. One thing for sure it sounds like you're a Matrix lifer.

Status: offline 		Hey Leib how are you. Something you should know first off, while you were away I staged a coup and took over the reins of power here at matrixgames. Now all posters must first send a check or money order to me before posting. The good news it's only 19.95 per post. The money is to be used for beer and motorcycle parts.... I mean developing new games and such. Welcome back ------------------ I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a differant direction! [This message has been edited by Mogami (edited January 10, 2001).]

Status: offline 		A long one is quite demanding, Troop! You might want to try a different smaller one first to get the feel of how campaigns go together. Then tackle the big one. I'll tell you now, doing Utah to the Rhine was the biggest single design effort I ever did and it took me nearly 3 months to complete it. Of course it was worth it, but it WAS a lot of work. Good luck with your project, Jason...WB ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games
