Is it possible to run a PBEM on a local machine, or do I have to use a server?

Is anyone planning on running an EA newbie game anytime soon?

PBEM does not need a server, just a host, who collects players moves, hosts each turn and sends back the results.

Most of the games here are network games, which use a server as the host. Email isn't needed, since players connect directly to the host when they do their moves.

See the manual, pages 29 and following, for complete details.

There are some changes to the manual if anyone decides to do PbEM games on a server let me know. Automating is it abit more possible than the manual leads you to believe
