What is your expectation for number of turns per week, after T1?

I knew if I had to ask I wouldn't be able to "afford" it :-) But maybe someone else can manage. If you need a second game, maybe I can squeek some turns out.

I think you lost a great many people with PBEM & the amount of turns for a week.

I can only do PBEM - so I do sympathise. I understand the reason for preferring server though.

Just a question - that number of turns is just what you can do or what you expect an opponent to do as well?

If the former you can play two others at the same time who go at half your speed. If that was the case you might get more opponents.

I'd be interested to hear why people are so opposed to PBEM? I'm still learning the ropes vs the AI but if I ever dip my toe into multiplayer the only way I'd be able to maintain a half way decent rate of turns is if I could send a turn over and be able to use the 'old' file to work out the admin stuff like the support units/leaders/air units/OOB composition changes for the next turn so that when it comes back I can do that quickly and get into the 'meat' of moving counters.

Is it just a trust thing?

I don't run any e-mail programs on my game computer, period. Plus, there are very few reasons to even play PBEM now days. You can log onto the Server pull the game and play without being connected to the internet after it is downloaded. Just make sure you log back onto the internet when you send your file. Not to mention all the extra steps for PBEM. If you have a connection for "EMAIL" then you have a connection to the Server. Simple as that.

With server games I thought once the turn is sent over to the opponent you can't access it till they send their turn back? If that is not the case then my issue falls away.

For number crunchers, spreadsheet advocates, meticulous tpes I completely understand why PBEM is a much needed factor for them so I don't think it's fair to judge others preferences or playstyles

Even though I prefer server both have pros and cons
I often find myself wanting to relook at my old turn files which I cannot do in multiplayer for one instance
