Three-player email game?

I am wondering if it will be possible for three or more players to play Warplan through pbem? Also, since I am very confident that Warplan will succeed and justify a Pacific Theatre expansion/new title, I want to request early that fuzzypup give serious consideration to making an early pre-war 1937 scenario that starts with the Japanese invasion of China. The wait for release is killing me!

I can't agree more with all you said (and suggest myself as one of the other two players for the game [;)] )

Yeah if this game isn't released within two months I fear for my mental health!

Just read on the Slitherine site that it is 1-2 players. Doesn't dampen my enthusiasm at all!

I asked that question a few weeks ago and (if I remember correctly) the developer answered that more than 2 players will be allowed to play by PBEM.

Although a Pacific Theatre would rock, I would love to see a Global War one. Keeping the balance between the two theatres is one of the most interesting parts of playing as the CW or USA.

It would only work if the 3 sides were:
Aliies
Axis
Russia.

And even then the Russians and the Allies need to have separate conditions. Do we know if that is the case?

I don't know how it would be possible to have three players when using the Slitherine servers to exchange turns. As far as I can tell there is only an Allied victory or defeat. No separate victory or defeat for Western Allies and Soviets.
