Dear Mr. Billings I have waited for YEARS for this game to arrive (I seem recall projections for year 2000 arrivals), and I truly appreciate your (and everyone else's) work in bringing this game to life. Sure, there are bugs, but this gaming community will survive. It is the "grognard" level community. We may have "issues," but let's face it, we are just plain obsessed and "wierd." That is the strength that drives many of us (even the much-reviled "Hirohito") to do what we do in real life. Just keep improving the game until you can't, then turn it over to the community to fix or improve the product. Some of that is already happening (see the mods). The Steel Panthers outgrowth series of games is a perfect illustration of this phenomena (and I -do- understand the legal issues involved) of what can happen when the gamers add life to a game that will live on well beyond the original scope or concept of the creator [the computer world -bows- to Gary Grigsby ]. Of course, THIS game is an outgrowth of PACWAR, so the creator saw that it was GOOD, and on the second day He (and all those involved) created WiTP. We (the community) just want Wednesday, and then Thursday, etc., to show up. Just remember, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! Your name might be forgotten in the future annals of history, but your work will not be.
