Is anybody interested in playing head to head games?

I'm thinking EA and limited legal nations. This will effectivly eliminate the diplomatic claptrap.

Post here if it sounds like something your interesting in.
Looking to start one up this weekend.

Head to Head as in Duels? Or are we talking more of a blitz situation with 4+ players?

One player vs one player.

Some suggestions:
I create a batch of Dueling maps each day on my server. Most suck but thats why I do it, so people can watch for a decent one worth keeping and using over and over.

Also I post open games which might smooth things out. No chance for host-cheating.

Also CBM versions if you would prefer the Conceptual Balance mod

Llama Server also makes it easy to quickly create and run a game if you prefer the play-by-email method.

There is a CHAT button at the top of the forum which allows opening a seperate chat room for each game. This allows some speed in setting up a game and the ability to do some chatter during the game.

There is also a #dominions IRC chat channel at GameSurge.net which frequently hosts blitz games of their own. There are usually people in that chat which might be willing to give you a duel.
