Status: offline 		Have you ever had your opponent surrender just when things are getting interesting? Have you not had a PBEM get to '43, or even past late summer '42? Do you really want to see what will happen later in the war? I know that I can answer yes to all of the above.

So here is what I'm looking to do. I want to take over "surrendered" games and keep the fight going! Will probably AAR some of these too, we'll see. I'd prefer the allied side for two reasons: 1. Japan production could be a total mess, and that is not something that can be fixed well on the fly 2. More room for error as allies, an error earlier in the war is not a complete game killer. I will still consider IJN games too.

Please let me know if you want to carry on your games!

Status: offline 		An interesting approach to gaming! I too have never gone past May of '42 and would find it interesting, but right now I'm dealing with late February and my time is tied up... but interesting offer! Let us know if someone takes you up on it. Hal

Status: offline 		Thanks Steve! Always good to have references, that's for sure. Hope to post more if this idea takes off, will definitely do an AAR of some kind. If I get multiple offers then the AARs can keep me straight, or make me crazy.

A very good idea. I hope it works for you.

The forum structure is pretty set, but I think it would be a great idea for a sticky or permanent forum home for orphan PBEM games and gamers looking to go on with a step-parent.

The sticky area is getting to be an over-grown shrubbery. Perhaps the mods could look at (northern hemisphere) spring pruning.

Failing that, perhaps a bumped thread with several dedicated bumpers could stand in. I myself would be interested in taking a 1943-44 game over just as a vacation from the endless penny-pinching of 1942.

Status: offline 		Wow late Jan 42 and the IJ already walked away? I've got a Japan game going right now, exact same time. Going to have to pass on this one as need my focus on my main game and both at exactly the same point is going to get right confusing, now make that 43 or 44 and that might be appealing. Sorry, hate to do this on first offer! Still looking though.................

Status: offline 		Lokasenna & I are gearing up with my late Jan 42 game - the abandonment was my fault, for the record.

Lokasenna (IJ) has PM and a fair+ position.
