you're just upset because we get all the good Canadian players and you're stuck with the Swiss.

(anyone here from Switzerland? no offense, really. i just tried to pick somewhere i didnt see anyone from.)

What sport are you talking about? ice hockey? cos I am not sure the Canadians are any good at any other sport are they? (cue heavy flaming from all forum lurkers north of the US border :mad

I would rather have the Swiss personally, they are good for chocolate, fondues, the occassional laugh and large chested ladies

Gryphin, definately game on for a PBEM - given that I am about as useful with a computer as I am at line dancing - I am not sure how PBEM works - do you know?

Growltigga,
I don't know, but I suspect we will have the answer shortly. I'll try to start a game and send it to you. Let's do trial and error till we get the mechanics down right, then we can start a serious game were the obvious advantage of my age, (47), will aid me in prevailing over someone so young. < bemused grin >.
I'll try to start a game tonight, (4:30 pm my time).
No matter what happens, We know the Red White and Blue will win.
I will use a small cluster glaxy, no catastrophys, and the defaults for everything else.
Please let me know what you think.

Other formum members: Would you li8ke postings of the progress here?

I'll take the Swiss anyday. They make cool tanks.
Enjoy,

I haven't looked at this in a long time, but this was a useful utility for PBEM.

edit: how's that for "having a response shortly"

Thanks, and good morning, Care for some coffee? I'll buy.

Good evening. (I haven't gone to bed yet, and until I do, it's still thursday evening, so there!)

I also thought of something else for you. You can just use pbw to distrubute your turns, all you have to do is set automatic turns to off. You execute the turns from your computer, and pbw pretty much does the rest.
