Total Entries: 7 the UK play by mail email group Friday, 11/2/01, 3:05 AM   ...concerned mainly with hobby promotion   Web Site: the UK play by mail email group   Pax Britannica league table Monday, 6/11/01, 10:10 AM   the league table was at this URL a while ago, altho I cannot access it at the moment. Users of the league table should remember that Pax by email is an infant hobby. Rapid email systems have only recently become widely accessible, and, as at June 2001, the vast majority of league players had played only 2 games!! Statistically, this is nowhere near a large enough sample to judge a player's skill. The scoring system for Pax is also under review; in particular the victory point divisors used for the seven Great Powers involved in the game.   From: Mark English Web Site: Pax Britannica ladder   Play by email game list Monday, 6/11/01, 9:36 AM   the game listing here is a runthrough of many of the principal wargames published since the seventies; unfortunately, few of them seem to be played at the moment by email, according to this list. However there are some notable exceptions, such as '1776' and '1830'.   Web Site: Play by email game list   Play games by email Monday, 6/11/01, 9:18 AM   there are a number of excellent games here, the best being the web-based ones where the game maps are maintained at a website - sparing you all the tedious map drawing and record keeping. Look for example at the '1483' Axis and Allies variant.   Web Site: Play games by email   PBM on the web Monday, 6/11/01, 9:11 AM   what looks like a sizeable collection. Also has a form-based facility for advertising your own PBM game at the site. Shame about the lack of colour here!   Web Site: PBM on the web   Agema PBM Monday, 6/11/01, 8:14 AM   Agema run colonial and eighteenth century games by mail and possibly email.   Web Site: Agema PBM   The Gaming Zone at Microsoft Monday, 6/11/01, 7:39 AM   this page shows the games played at this huge site, with the number of players engaged at any given time. Both Close Combat and Axis & Allies have been recommended to me: Diplomacy on the web was a brave experiment here, but the designers Hasbro had put too much effort into the graphics and not enough into the game mechanics [especially the AI] or ironing out the bugs. Diplomacy has now been dropped from the Zone, I notice. I await the appearance of a new improved version with interest.   Web Site: The Gaming Zone at Microsoft   (Members can delete entries.)
