Experience with PBEM games

From the first clash at Manassas to the epic confrontation between Lee and Grant, the Brother Against Brother series will bring new levels of historical detail and realism to the battles of the Civil War. This regimental-level game, created by the developers of the award-winning Forge of Freedom, builds on that game’s acclaimed tactical engine, adding scrupulously researched orders of battle, high-quality map graphics, command and control rules reflecting the numerous challenges faced by army commanders, and plenty other features. Beginning with The Drawing of The Sword – which recreates the pivotal opening battles at Manassas , Wilson ’s Creek, Mill Springs and Williamsburg – Brother Against Brother lets you refight the Civil War from start to finish.

This game uses the Slitherine server hosted two player mode instead of direct pbem.
It works very well.
If you have an opponent in mind, you post with a password for you opponent to use when they join you.
The pbem interface is easy to use and works well.
The only component which is not as easy for me to use as other server based pbem is the chat. You must chat before you begin the turn, rather than after.
Otherwise, very nice interface.
