Blitz Questionnaire - Weasel

RE: Blitz Questionnaire - Walrus
What is your name?

Jason Young

How did you decide upon your Blitz nickname?

I was given a stage name for a band I was in back in the late 90s.
It was Sgt Walrus. It is a long story and nothing to do with The Beatles.
It is now my business name too.
I made my name just “Walrus” for the Blitz as I didn’t want to restrict my rank!

What ladders are you represented on?


Steel Panthers

What is your favorite PC War-game?

Steel Panthers

Who has been your hardest opponent?

All have been excellent.
Hawks, Steel God, Czerpak, Vesku, Grumbler to name a few difficult opponents.
For the last couple of years Weasel has been my nemesis. He is hard work indeed!

How long have you been a member of the Blitz?

Joined in Sept 01, so 5 years, 11 months so far.

What War interests you the most?

I am interested in conflict and history in general so I will read about any era. I guess WW2 pulled me in first, and perhaps that’s why SP appealed.

If you could choose to be present at one historical event what would it be?

Wow, that is hard. I have thought of a thousand moments and cannot pick one.
A Jimi Hendrix show in ’67-’68 would be right up there 

What is your favorite War movie?

Stalingrad is cool. A Bridge Too Far also ranks up there.

What do you snack on while gaming?

Coffee I guess…I don’t really eat at my computer.

What is your favorite and least favorite aspect of the Blitz website?

I would agree with Chris.
It is the people and the chance to connect with like-minded pixel warriors from all over the globe. The community is excellent.
The least??? No idea, I have no negatives really.
I wish there was more of us…but maybe that would ruin it a bit…??

Do you own any war memorabilia?

Not really. A few of my Grandad’s WW2 ribbons (he was a Major in the Fijian Army fighting in the Pacific), some other random badges and that’s it.

What is the best military book you have read?

My favorite is Mark of the Lion, about Charles Upham VC and Bar.
That is because I am a Kiwi, biased, and he is a bloody legend!
I have read many others and have a bookcase full of them, some bad, some excellent…all read 

What do you think was the single most important event of WWII?

Pearl Harbour is right up there I guess. It pulled USA into the war properly and made the end inevitable. I don’t know really…Stalingrad must be right up there too.
I find it hard to break it down to one moment like that…really the most important moment was when it started I guess.

What is the most interesting documentary you have ever watched?

The Corporation.
There are many but that one is the most important. If you have not seen it…you should.

What is your favorite version of Steel Panthers?

I play SPCAMO only, so MBT and WW2. I like them both equally.

Are there any war games catching your eye at present?

I was dabbling with Hearts of Iron but it just takes too much of my time.
When I was ten I joined a war-gaming club and played WW2 1/72 scale battles with dice and rulers and terrain on table-tennis tables…SP is the computer age version and I guess that it is all that I need.


What piece of wisdom would you like to pass on to your fellow Blitz members?

Ha! Me! Wisdom!

Try and remember that it is a game and a challenge.
Don’t play for the ladder, play for the enjoyment of you and your opponent.
Show good form with your opponent, and in general.
Have fun!!
