The AI is lethal, particularly in the Squad Battles series (which are by far the best of Tiller's games, IMHO). You won't be short of a challenge. PBEM is good too, although one problem with Tiller releasing them as quickly as he does is that you would need a second mortgage to get all of them - and of the potential PBEM community, many just have different games in a series.

I guess the way he does it generates the most profit, but it's a real shame IMHO that something like Squad Battles wasn't a "core" game with add-on modules you could pick up at mid-price. It's very hard to justify full price for "Tour of Duty" when you have "Vietnam", or "Pacific War" when you have "The Proud and the Few" - they are basically just scenario packs. But if it had been modular, everyone could keep up, and I think the games would have been huge in PBEM circles.
