What does The Blitz mean to you?

[Walrus]

I like the fact that Jim, who has been away a lot of late, is showing an interest in the general vibe of the club. That's good leadership as far as I am concerned.

For me, in the most simple terms, The Blitz allows me a free place on-line where I can find opponents to PBEM Steel Panthers. However, it's not that simple eh.

That this is a free site, and there are no ads annoying us....is a very bloody rare thing in the on-line world.
I think a few people need to remember that...you need pay nothing to be a part of this community.

Here, you are treated with respect until you show Bad Form. At that time the forces of moderation start to come into play. If you exhibit Good Form...the Blitz world, small as it may be, is your oyster.

I discovered SP ( the original, back in '93 or so) after a long break from wargaming. I was very happy. A few years later, I had my own computer. By chance a local store had SP3. Hurrah.
I got on line and typed in 'PBEM SP wargaming' or similar...and The Blitz popped up in the search engine. I clicked the link, way back in 2001, and here I am, still.
It's the first page I open when I fire up Firefox, and has been for years.

I have made some very good friends here, as far as you possibly can in the virtual world...and with them I have fought many a fierce battle.
That is as good as I could ever have hoped for when I clicked on that link all those years ago.
Hurrah indeed!

Cheers lads, for all the games, the winnings and the losing ones equally. Cheers for all the interesting posts and all your collective efforts to make a our small community a more enjoyable place to hang out.
You really are a good bunch of geezers. :bow:

Respect
