Serious turn based/otherwise game - 8/24/2011 2:14:30 PM

For one reason and another I have not been getting too much time for war-games recently. The last game iv consistently played is WITE. As much as I do love WITE I need to sort out some pbem, I'm looking for something else.

Iv played both cota and httr, and think I would prefer bftb even more due to the setting, however what's holding me back is the worrying lack of a community and no pbem, anyone have any comments on that point?

Next my choices seem to be toaw 3 or another game I'm yet to discover. Is toaw still live so far as pbem is concerned, or is the hps series more populated?

I'm looking for a realistic (so far as is possible) game. Scale doesn't concern me but I like a good interface and if possible more WITE than hps 1998 windows box and drop down menu.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Go to www.theblitz.org and see for yourself if TOAW has a thriving PBEM community.

Flibby,

They may look slow, but if you posted a request for a game in the Tiller TOC section I bet you would have a response within hours. For TOAW...it seems a bit slower...I do not play TOAW PBEM so I am not sure. If I had to choose between TOAW and Panzer Campaigns for a PBEM game I would choose Panzer Campaigns. Nothing against TOAW but I prefer to PzC for PBEM.
