RE: Liberation, the game that saved PG
Larry,
Thanks for the complimentary words and I had some very enjoyable times indeed. I certainly do take pride in my Westwall defensive records with 'Jerry' which were all against real-life opponents rather than solo. Especially the more so when compared to other gamers plays that had results going the US way in their games.
The 6 years or so of PG did at least get me back into wargaming after a long hiatus and has also found me some lovely and valuable gaming buddies around the World that I can play other games with now online, on Skype and on VASSAL. At this time I am trying out two other platoon type games, one very similar indeed to PG. I have also been branching out into other periods with a slant on not overly long rulebooks (that's what drew me to PG and captured my imagination). Big rule books do become a bind for me personally.
I will admit that the new branch into alt-history (SGW?) would have been another 'thorn' in my side had I still been playing PG, but it seems to be being welcomed here at least. Not for this old carmudgeon though :-)
