Even given my strong background...I am a retired Master Sergeant..., and my interest in military history, I am still hesitant to jump into PBEM.
I played Tactics II back in the mid 60's, and played Panzer Leader, Panzer Blitz, Ambush!, and about every variant of ASL that existed.
...throw in Victory Games, and other SPI and AH products in there as well.
With the advent of computer gaming, I believe that I have purchased and played almost all of the military themed, turn base strategy games out there.
I suppose the nearest to this would be Shattered Union..a really under rated game from Pop Top software.
Having said ALL this, a good human opponent would kill me. I do not have the ability to fully and completely integrate the battlefield, harmoniously blending artillery, infantry, air power and armor into a seamless, unstoppable force.
Give me a couple of months, and I might be up to the task. My learning curve is still pretty steep at this point.
