Congratulations y un gran aplauso! It has been a long struggle to catch up to your actual rank.
Glad that I could do my bit to make this glorious, but relatively meaningless, achievement possible -- along with my fellow SEAB&JF scoundrels.
Wow!
Imagine that: a PG-HQ LTC that is not a strict rules lawyer. Somebody that actually plays for fun.
Whew, is that ever true!
Combat in cyberspace is way better, and it is fun if you play these fiddly battles your way with other people, as the Tread Rex and the SEAB&J rascals always do.
After all, we own these games ourselves, they're not the property of the opinionated, fun-killing PG rules lawyers, and solo purists.

It always amazes me that people who do not share my abnormalities play the dinosaur version too. Well done :)
Be sure to play a DIY scenario with the points system in the back that sadly only was printed in the original.
You're sure right.
Arguably, the DIY scenario builder feature was the best - and most fun - part of the original PG game set.

Completion of a happy set of introductory scenarios played with a long-time, PG aficionado, in the process of shifting to shared play in Vassal.
The very welcome addition to the growing stable of seasoned & challenging online players served by PG-HQ.

to Staff Sergeant 
Hearty congrats to Tubac52, the latest member of the Southeast Arizona Beer & Jolly Foils to become a PG-HQ Staff Sergeant, in spite of a serious case of Vassalitis.
And, here's a little WWII trivia: US Army Staff Sergeants in 1944 were paid all of $96 a month and Privates were paid just $50 a month (Atkinson, Rick 2013:19).
