how long have u been a blitz member?

Interesting discussion. I can't recall when I joined, it seems a long time ago. I have memories of playing before I joined the club. I used to play with Jim Puff for a while and I even worked with him on some scenario designs prior to the Blitz. I have to say all the work was his really as he had a good knowledge of the period. I didn't know him for long but he was a really nice guy and I learned a lot from him about how wargaming should be approached. He was always fair and wanted to make the game as historical as possible. I was sad to hear he had passed away.

I remember quite few opponents over the years and a few characters. Can't say I've ever had any bad experiences here and I always come back whenever I've had time out. Everytime I try to walk away, after a few months, I start dreaming of dropping mortar shells on my opponents, it's like an addiction and I end up back here. I've been beaten so many times by Oberst it almost feels personal. He is probably the most amazing player I've encountered. There was a guy called Larry I recall too, he was great as he always attacked in a fearless way that made me chuckle. More recently I played Slawek and Doc, really great opponents. Lots of oppoents over the years and I've enjoyed all my battles.

It was really funny to read the halftrack debate again. That must be one of the longest running debates in wargaming history. Hope I'll be here for many more years to come. It's great to see the rebirth of the campaign series through Matrix. People have been writing the game off since its first incarnation but it never seems to die.
