SP, Combat Mission

What is your favorite PC War-game?
CM and SP.
Who has been your hardest opponent?
I haven’t heard from him in sometime, but I never beat Dutchie once in SP. I would even intentionally look for scenarios that were biased in my favor and tell him so. Had some great banter, as well.

How long have you been a member of the Blitz?
3 years? I would have to look. Probably more?

What War interests you the most?
The US Civil War always had my attention, but Ken Burns brought it to everyone’s attention and I had to share it with a bunch of other’s who didn’t have to work as hard to learn about it. Now it’s all WW2. Eastern front at the moment.

Battle: Thermopylae
Speech: Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address

Some coffee in the winter and a yogurt in the summer.

What is your favorite and least favorite aspect of the Blitz website?
My home page is the Blitz forum. I would like to quickly download scenarios from right there.

Do you own any war memorabilia?
Three feet to my right leans a rifle that was formerly the property of the Imperial Japanese Army and was borrowed by my wife’s grandpa.

What is the best military book you have read?
My earliest recollection of military books was at the small hometown library and the not so familiar “bookmobile”. The titles escape me, but the daring pilots of the RAF and their spectacular Spitfires remain in my memory almost forty years after I closed the covers on those adventures.

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

What is the most interesting documentary you have ever watched?
Ken Burns’s Civil War

What is your favorite version of Steel Panthers?
SP Enhanced or H2H. Does anybody remember those?

Are there any war games catching your eye at present?
Is there anybody developing an improved graphic version of SP?

What piece of wisdom would you like to pass on to your fellow Blitz members?
I love a spirited debate on any issue, but let’s not be personal. If you insist on derogatory remarks, they absolutely must be considered hilarious across the world.
