Hi, I've been really enjoying the ease of play PBEM++ gives on games like Panzer corps and Flashpoint: Red storm.

I'm looking to start branching into more strategical level games for multiplayer rather than tactical and wondered if this has the PBEM++ system or just regular PBEM as I couldn't see it mentioned in the description.

Thanks in advance.

Hi its just the traditional exchange of saves with your opponent, can either be via email or dropbox to your taste

PBEM with no password protect. Yep, a game released post 1995 and it still has no Password protect.

Hint - those that post "password not necessary, I trust people." You might want to watch out for them.

Oh balto, your comment makes me weep, not everyone wishes to cheat. I do not trust everyone, seriously, how could anyone trust everyone, but the deal is not everyone cheats.
I was actually very surprised the first time an opponent in a password protected game cheated. It was so easy to do, but I was naive and did not know how to manipulate the system. So, I did learn how to gauge cheating by play. I have actually had more players cheat in password protected games than in those without passwords. Lots of ways to cheat if you mean to cheat.
Actually the shared hosting is really nice.

My pbem opponent in WitpAE has become one of my best friends. He also knows my street address, phone number, names of my children and wife, and if we didn't have to have a password in the game, I doubt we would. We also have very similar interests outside of wargamming.

It's all about finding the right person IMO

Better to watch for those who put everything east and charge. That way you don't waste your time.

In my view, passwords provide a false sense of security. There are more ways to cheat in a password protected game than the number of politicians who speak straight. I learned the hard way that password protection was for the naive. Many losses later, I learned to play open games without passwords actually were better in regard to fairness. The online forums such as for Pike and Shot and The Great War are more secure, but even these can be circumvented by the person desperate to win at all costs.
I do know lots of players who insist upon password protection, but I also know a lot of players I used to play who knew how to abuse this seemingly safe protection.
Not to make a major point, but if you think you are safe from a fraudulence player by using a password, you would be wrong.
