I wonder how many players use the timed play feature. I like to use this when I want some fast-paced action. Setting your turn time to 3 minutes can make a real difference to those troops that get forgotten as you battle elsewhere on the map. I played the Scenario "A Simple Command" by Kevin Greer with a 3 minute setting. Oblivious to everything around me I frantically searched for the stealthy approach through bocage to the awaiting MG nests and bunkers. Surprisingly, I managed a Decisive Victory losing only 12 men but destroying seven of the German bunkers by turn 13. This with no armour and only 2 mortars. Very satisfying! I might add that this map, by Bill Wilder, is one of my favorite maps for pbem play. I have paricularly enjoyed playing Poland versus Germany in 9/39, one time even managing a draw! ------------------

MindSpy Still getting over the earthquake here in vancouver but ... Breathe deeply breathe deeply ... i prefer to have timed play in general but it is tough to get opps for it. the timed feature is much like command and control units have to be in tight focussed battle groups and there is never enought ime to control all the map or indirect fire assets ... it is a significant step up in game play requirements ...
