I was running a campaign called ESCALATION!
We were down to the semi-final games when I got side-tracked by development of ACTASF. I intend ot email the final 4 participants next week to see if they are interested in completing the event. If so, then I've got another 3 to 4 months of PBEM to moderate.
If not, I may be looking to start another game or two in the next two to three weeks. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Scoutdad,
Do you use the mapmaker tool on the PBEM site? If so, which version of python is best 2.7 or 3.3?

Nicole/Matt,
If scoutdad won't be available for a few months, I can give moderating a try. Let me know if you're interested and willing to deal with my growing pains as a moderator. _________________ Speed is life; Patience is victory

Actually... I use CorelDraw for mapmaking and Excel/open Office for tracking turn activities...
Here's an exampe of the mid-game map:
And the excel sheet for movement plotting:
And the excel sheet for impulse activities:

I imported the standard PDF map into CorelDraw.
As for the counters, most of them are cut and pasted from the e-packs or scans of the existing counter sheets.
The expendables (Drones, Drone Flights, Plasmas, and Shuttles) were created by me for use in teh games. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Hello All, what is the average rate of play in email games? Do they last a day? a month? a year?
Kind Regards,
Sebastian
