RE: The April Promotion Class
One of the things I like about how the statistics pan out is that we all have very different paths if you actually look at other's accomplishments on their home pages; which I do from time to time. On mine I believe I have the largest amount of British, Australian and Italian plays or units used. Of course a lot of Desert war/North African theater plays have contributed to that. Germany in most cases will be at the top as far as any one nation's plays go. Then there are the predominant American or Soviet Union players on the allied side of things or on the other axis end, those who have the Asian persuasion with either soley commanding or zealously annihilating the Japanese; and then those who go for the diversity of nations used and scenarios played, like Matt, Michael, Hugmenot and a few others; then there are the true snipers and hunters that with the components available will pioneer scenarios and/or games the least played; and then there are methodical players like myself with limited collections but do what they can to complete as many scenarios in some sort of either/or numerical or chronological order.
Honestly, I don't really start drooling over the prospect of a promotion or tour of duty ribbon but it is nice to have some sort of recognition for the many hours put into PG over the last year or so; there are worse addictions. It's not all about me and enjoy reading other's AARs and viewing their ratings; especially with scenarios I've already experianced for perspective or hindsight. Now with recent shared plays via Skype I've found myself on the verge of actually getting competitive.
I will now humbly accept my academy award and buzz off back to the 'Eastern Front' ;-)
