Looking for one opponent for GC scenario PBEM. Will play Axis or Allies. One or two turns a day.

I would, but I think Doomtrader said the upcoming patch will not be backward compatible for games in progress. Is that right, Doomtrader?

Questions for Doomtrader:

1) when the patch comes out, will it become official and be put immediately on the Slitherine PBEM server?

2) in general, how will such transitions be handled in the future? I can see someone playing PBEM for a year and a half, only to have a new official version of the game make the current game impossible to continue.

2) will never happen as all the files are saved on the game server. You will just be playing an older version.

Do you mean so long as both players either don't apply the patch, or keep a pre-patch version, no problem?
