I'll throw a couple of names into the hat.

1) Yava. Piotr was my first PBEM opponent back in the distant days of the original WitP. I've lost contact with him despite trying to send several emails

2)Gladiatt. Despite being French, he was a top bloke. Sadly he had a wife who was seriously ill and after they moved I've not been able to contact him again.




I don't have Yava's email , but did have Eric's (gladitt). I'll let you all know if he responds.



i was really surprised to receive your mail on an old email. I did send a answer, not sure you get it.

Just sorry to have worry you guys.
Not much time to come here: now i go on a french forum (sorry Dixie, i am always french ).
And sadly my wife health get worse.....

i will try to come from time to time

I feel weird opening up the saved game menu and seeing that file there in slot "018". Even weirder when I open it up and scan the map a bit.

It's kind of funny how you can feel so sad about someone you never actually met in person - just someone who would drop emails with that nice little paper clip indicating an attached turn. A little bit of trash talking about events in the game, a few questions here and there about random life topics - and then you feel really sad reading the on-line obituary.

It's probably because Bill seemed like a really good guy. Good sense of humor, polite and courteous about turns and very understanding about all my "newbie" questions.

RIP Bill. You'll be missed.

I didn't but thanks for responding. I hope things get better for you and Claire.
Good news and bad news. The good news is you won't have to come to Nebraska when you come and visit me. The bad news is now you'll have to come to St. Louis! Hang on a couple of years and you can make it Florida!

I'm sorry to hear about the newest addition to the wall of memory. On the forum he always seemed to be a really nice guy.

Do you guys remember "AmiralLaurent" from original WitP - his great AAR showed how it was possible to capture and hold Hawaii?

Most definitely.

Whenever someone asks me who I think are the strong Japanese players, I always answer that AmiralLaurent was in the top 3 of classical WITP players and there is no reason to believe he could not have successfully transferred over to AE. He was a master of logistical operations and a clear strategic thinker who based his operations on solid preplanning and objective analysis.
