After beating the allied AI I would like to try PBEM

Status: offline 		Dissapointing that there was only one player interested in a PBEM, and in the game we have only got as far as turn 1. Is it that all those interested in PBEM were playtesters and are all played out?

With turns taking only a few minutes to play I reckon you should be able to cycle through quite a few turns in a evening or at a weekend. Of course both players sharing similar time zones helps but in the PBEM games I have played in the past I find you usually end up playing someone from the other side of the world.

When you end your turn for PBEM there is no prompt to enter a filename and the game auto saves with a name including the date. This overides any previous save which is inconvenient, a definite improvement would be to have a prompt for a user entered name. This of course might not be worth doing if no one is actually playing PBEM.

I am juggling two games now and might fit in a third once I see how much time this all going to take. I will know better by tomorrow night.

Status: offline 		CEAW giving PBEM file save the same filename each time is a real pain. With two games I am having to rename all files before sending and store them in different folders otherwise things will start getting out of control!!!. I want to keep the files so a AAR can be produced.

A filename prompt for PBEM is top of my wishes for a patch.

Status: offline 		Thats how you load a unit on a ship, then you can move it, one or several turns later end up adjacent to a coast hex and then next turn you can unload, very neat idea.

Getting units to Egypt is going to be difficult with all those u-boats infesting the transport loop hex, maybe more loops?
