I think we're only waiting on Sweden, though I've been known to be wrong before![:D]

I blame your bad influence on And2 for his being late.

4 days since last turn was sent.
Guys, I think it is time to go to the reserve.

I think we can wait another day on going to reserve. I hate to do that to anyone. I just wish we could get an update or an ETA.
Perhaps we can discuss the reserve list in a couple of days. And then move quickly. Or?

We could wait indefinetely, but I don't think this game is going to survive going 3-4 days between turns every turn much longer. Interest will wane.

I agree with Mus, that a 3-4 day turn around is not conducive to player interest. But, I've enjoy the play so far with Chindits, and would like to hear from him to see if he will be able to continue on a committed basis.
Except for the last two turns I've thought he's been very prompt, and don't want to write him off too fast! There are times when people get busy or sidetracked, but then are able to get back on track! So, lets be patient till we hear from him then get back going full bore![:)]

At least give him two more days, as Barbarossa suggested!

That would make it a 6 day turn. Getting up near a quarter of viewing the period in real time if we get to week turns.

Our "Another PBEM" game is moving along at a very good pace. We just had half the players post their turns within minutes of the new Turn 86 files being emailed out. "PBEM 109" has been moving along quickly as well. Just to give you some idea, "PBEM 109" was organized just a few days before this one was and is already into the 40s on turns. Both of these games have had many 24 hours turns and several occasions in which we have done 2 turns in a 24 hour period.
This game seems plagued with people routinely exceeding the 48 hour MAXIMUM turn rule. Then when they do they act like they are the only people in the world with jobs and other committments. Nope, sorry the game takes 5-10 minutes to do your turn. Many of my turns are done real quick before I go to bed, or before I go out the door to work.
Much more of this and you guys can find a replacement for me.

I am one of those who delayed your turns (although as far as I believe not for such a long time) (correct me if I am wrong). I do however agree with Mus's points, I have learned to not delay the turn and just do it as it comes and if things need to change (which they don't that often) change them by sending another turn. I did try to update you guys as well when I got away from computer. You are also correct that almost all of my delays were caused by the fact that I told myself I'll do the turn tonight, when I get some thinking about it. I never did than

and still had to do it in 5-10 minutes and it become a chore rather than enjoyement.
Though I have to play my turns when the baby is not demanding attention and is taken care of by my woman

Believe me, babies are hard to quiet by playing COG:EE. Showing them cool soldiers, doesn't seem to work at all.

Believe me, I am all for moving along and finding someone else. I do wish And2 would post an update.
I will leave this up to everyone else as to what we do. I will just vote for what the majority votes.
I AM suffering from CoG:EE withdrawal. And more than many players here, since it is the only game I am involved in.

The worst part is the game is just starting to get interesting, but I don't want to wait a week for any player. Sorry.
If that is the plan it's time for ME to move on. I can PM my password and some quick strategy tips to my replacement.

Lets give Chindits till tomorrow to show up. If no word from him as to why he's delayed then I agree, lets find someone else.
