Bugger, isn't it typical that when you come up with a good idea, some swine is already there (normally it happens when I come up with a whizzo plan for making money)

Not sure I like this concept of America vs the rest of the world - we need to differentiate and have USA vs various nations eg US vs UK etc

May be Dogscoff and I need to come up with a suitable tag team concept we can apply to this

Growltigga,
I would be interested in a PBEM with you. You seem to have the same experiance level I do. I have about 40 or so hours into the gaame. Before that it was SE III, Empire Deluxe, Civ II,
I'll post the full list in "How old are you" formum tommorrow. I'm still writing it.
This does not constitute a challenge so much as an offer. I feel if we both enjoy it, then we both win, Scores are unimportant to me.
Are you game?

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"
