    Best Porto and pastiche de belem please!
    Those were very good years for all of us, Quim. It was you inspired us and launched the interest in complex solo playing and campaigning .
    Many storytelling AARs followed, many people met in real, played together and had fun since then.
    Like us.


    It was also you who started building paper 1:144 models with a great care for details. One of the models is in my hangar. The Red Baron Fokker.
    It was you, who painted beautiful pictures. One of them hangs in my house in a very special place and each and every guest admires it.

    We started the very first solo campaign at the Westfront together some years ago and fought in the Midway Rising campaign, my friend.

    Memorable moments I won't miss.

    One of your paintings is here in Bavaria, too.

    Congratulations for this nice medal on your chest.

    You're in a good company and I hope we'll meet some day in person.

    Well done Joaquim!
    For me you are the man behind the card-based AI-system. I am mostly a soloplayer and I use it all the time.
    Thank you for that

    Thanks Per-Gunnar. You're very kind.
    But the solo system is a work of many.
    I'm happy that you enjoyed my part of it.

    I, too, like everyone else, love your contributions to this great place - you are a model for all of us in your humor, enthusiasm, modeling skill, and love for the game. It has been lovely getting to 'know' you through the forum, and like others before me, I look forward to some day playing with you in person.

    I'm so glad your move to Holland has been fruitful

    All the best,
    Matt

    That describes me, as well. I dabbled with the solo rules but did not like all the die rolling.
    Once I discovered your cards there has been no turning back!

    We've been together now for four whole years, and it don't seem a day too much.
    There ain't a comrade living in the world that I'd swap for my dear old Dutch.

    Well Portuguese don't rhyme, and you are living in Holland.

    Congratulations Quim. Here's to the next four.

    Hey Joaquim,
    CONGRATS are in order, I dare say my dear wingmate ... four years here, WOW !!
    such a shame you couldn't make it last sunday, we could have had some jenevers together to celebrate this milestone in your career.

    You still got a lot to learn ... before you become a "full-blown" (pun intended) Dutchie

    Hope to see you soon
