Yeah, it is quiet. I hope we don't have to resort to starting threads like how to tackle our teenage children problems, etc. Maybe we need to start a tournament - the winnng Japanese player gets to fly to Hawaii and visit Pearl Harbour

I did however, have two opponents disappear, only hoping their on vacation or I'll have to go find some fresh meat.

Steven, although it is a littele quieter here lately I think this is primarily because of summer...

BTW, the WitP forum is still (and continues to be even now in summer) the bussiest forum...

I believe holidays are a reason.
I'm definitely not moving to another game, I have yet to see 1943 for the first time!!
The furthest I got with my PBEMs is September '42

My AAR is getting cold due to GH been on holiday, he may not be the only one.

What holiday??? the only holiday around here this time of year is Labor Day and that isnt until next weekend and that isnt a 'real' holiday (on the lines of X-mas, T'giving or July 4th). I would love to see a 'holiday' from this heat.........it was 104 here yesterday (thats a pic of my head after going outside and mowing the grass)

1943. I'm playing two PBEM's and I am still waiting to see 1942.

A conservative extimate would be that we will still be playing these in 6 years time, real time that is. Assuming no-one sneaks a win in before 45. After I have finished these I will probably try the CHS. No, I think I will be around for a little while longer yet.

Some European countries have holiday in summer.

In the UK it's heavily related to school holidays which run for 6 weeks from Mid-julyish to beginning of September. During this time a lot of people got on holiday to warmer climates and I especially notice it at work (IT Sales)....quiet oh so quiet = more time for forums!

I believe Mike is being kept busy with War in the East and some War Plan Orange stuff. Some of us are testing WPO too...

And we in sweltering South Georgia, USA, are looking forward to the first really strong cold wave - heat indices in the 110's for the past three weeks, and I live near salt water marshes. Humidity is nearly as outrageous as the sand gnats. The mosquito seems to have taken a holiday due to the heat, fortunately.

Don't know if I'm allowed to say... but I'm having fun. Just started a PBEM game of the 1922 - 1926 campaign. The absence of effective aircraft takes some getting used to!
