RE: Patience -it's all in the Game
I agree with the thread. I don't play campaigns because I know my own limitations. I play middle to small scale scenario's and have never left anyone hanging ... and my dismall record shows I lost many of those games. I sometimes find as much enjoyment in losing a sce that I tried my best to make a good showing as I do winning (which, come to think about it, I'm beginning to forget how it feels to win ... :-)
I will admit to having to bow out of one game several years ago but I notified my opponent (Esher) and did not leave him wondering what the heck happened to his opponent. He claimed the win which is what I expected. The reason I dropped out was out of my control and severe in nature; Esher understood and all was OK.
Just sneaking out of a game is bad. I've never experienced this yet with PzC. I have had opponents disappear in another wargame I play but it seems the Blitz players take their reputations seriously. ... and I'm sure glad.
(I had an extended vacation from PzC's and since I've come back I noticed Esher isn't playing any more. Does anyone know what happened to him? This is a risky question to ask but I want to know out of respect for his abilities.)
