I'm going to pass on the remaining campaigns for two reasons: first, I don't think I can come back to win by now. And second, I just don't like this version of the engine. I don't hate it, but every time I fire it up I wish I was playing a later version.

I had fun with it for free, for a good 23 hours, but I'd rather spend time playing something else.

Thanks for the matches Shelldrake! (I don't think I played anyone else...?)

No worries Jason. I'm glad you enjoyed some of it. :)

I THINK I am playing a match.  I have sent an e-mail to Father Ted a couple of times (he is playing the west in Stalin Drives East - ie the loser)

Shelldrake

My match with Anguille is progressing; there are currently 15 turns left in the scenario.

I have not heard from Father Ted recently - apparently he was having computer issues - so I am not sure whether he wants to concede the Stalin Drives West match since at this point my British and US forces have air superiority and have already captured Moscow and Kursk. I messaged him a few days ago but have not yet had a response.

Father Ted

Sorry ludi1867 and Shelldrake.  There were some technical issues, but mainly I just lost interest in the games tbh.  Not sure what happened in my game vs Anguille - I think I was the last one to send a turn, but could easily be wrong.  This has been my first go at PBEM (and with a totally unfamiliar game) and I struggled to maintain momentum. And I was losing almost from the get-go - very sore loser here - so SCWW2 fell to the bottom of my things to do in free time.

Bottom line, I'm withdrawing from the competition.  Sorry Boggit, and thanks for organising this.

ludi1867

I guess I am NOT playing a match.  So wrap it up Boggit

Boggit

If that is the consensus, I'll wrap it up and announce our winner and runners up for bragging rights!

PS...

Do you guys have any interest in me running another league, as there are quite a few games that are great for PBEM? If so, shout out and suggest what game we run.

Sure!

I wouldn't be completely adverse to running the more modern engine of this.  >:D

But I'd be probably okay with other alternatives.

FYI Anguille and I are still playing our match - 9 turns left so we should be finishing soon. So far my Japanese forces have remained in control of Manila and Clarks Field.

Definitely interested... just depends on the game.

Shelldrake

I just concluded my match with Anguille, managing a major victory playing as the Japanese. Thanks for the game Anguille.  8) 8)
