Goodbye

[Oberst]

This is indeed a sad day for the Blitz. Good luck and best wishes on your future endeavors. Will you provide a method so that we all may be able to download your scenarios?

Von Earl - I never want to say goodby - just wish you good health & prosperity to you and yours!

I truly have enjoyed our battles together thru the years and still play your scenarios, as they are still some of the very best ever produced!

Take care my friend!

[Scud]

See you, VE. Hope you drop in from time to time.

Wow, what a huge loss for the entire club!
Good Luck, you will be greatly missed. Love all your scenario's

[Jim von Krieg]

Departure of a club legend!

Its a sad day when we lose one of our very best. You are a class act and I will always remember the great tourneys you ran and the sweetest scenarios you produced. You had a tremendous ability to get the maximum out of the game with a few tweaks that only you could pull off.

I remember like it was yesterday when you started on your scenario creations. I absolutely adore your Kursk and Salerno scenarios. They are epic and such a blast in a team format.

Thank you for the wonderful passion that you shared with us and the excellent times we had.

I wish you the very best in everything you do!

Your friend always!

Earl,

I held off until now because quite frankly I'm still in shock that you are moving on from the Campaign Series. I know we haven't talked much over the years but I watched you behind the scenes with great earnest.

What you did for the Campaign Series and the Blitz Club over the years was in my opinion monumental.

Years ago when I first started to play your scenarios, I saw genius in your designs and being somewhat of a design tinkerer myself I thought Oh My Gosh I wish I could design great scenarios as good as the Von. At times, I was envious yet proud to see your works of art. You were an inspiration to me then and still today.

Earl, I refuse to accept that you are leaving CS. I know it is in your heart and blood and regardless of what transpires in the future, for whatever reason, to me you'll always be in the CS family. Brothers one and all!

God Bless and may success always follow your flag!

Ivan the Big

Yes, a huge loss. Others have described well the effects this news brings to the whole CS community.
