What do I do in the mean time?

Ok, so I have refrained from asking the perennial [when will EiA be out?] for all the time I have lurked.
So now I am trying to keep myself busy until the release date.
Can you guys recommend another matrixgames game which may keep me busy for a while?
I have never played a matrixgames game before, but have been wargaming for 19 years, with an emphasis on Napoleonics and Modern Naval.
I figured a game to play in the mean time would get me used to Matrix interfaces and keep my mind off trawling the forum looking for a release date for EiA.
I would prefer a game that I can play either on my machine against AI or via email against others since my work involves a heavy amount of travel and long hours.

Play War in the Pacific. It's a great strategic level wargame, especially PBEM. Takes a little while to pick up the details so play a few rounds against the computer first.

You are lucky, once every 7 days...we could not get less than every 15 days due to our girlfriends...
They dont understand why we meet togheter 12 people to conquer, declare wars and everything else for around 7 hours in my garage every 15 days!!!
About the forum, well, actually I look it in the morning, before lunch and before closing the office.... [;)]
Regards

I bought War in the Pacific. I spent a week playing the first turn of the same battle, finally I am starting to get into it.
It looks like a good game. And since I am a Napoleonic Freak, I guess it is good to broaden my horizons.
Thanks for all the advice. I think I am becoming a dedicated Matrix Games fan. I may have to start collecting them all.
