May even think about trying another opponent - working from home due to the pandemic gives me a lot more computer time than ever before.

Good point. The game does take an all or nothing viewpoint on your life while playing it. I shouldnt say this, but I miss the spending hours pouring over ship conversions and aircraft r&d plans. No other game has anything like this. I feel the urge rising to try another PBeM - although they all seem to end poorly.

My personal favorite scenario is Babes 29-C. The "-C" has reduced cargo and fuel carrying capacity for merchants and tankers to help game play better reflect reality.

Babes itself has the most detail, corrections, smaller vessels added, improvements to land units and aircraft, especially fighters. As far as I know many, most, or perhaps even all of the improvements to aircraft have been ported back into stock. Perhaps some or all of the improvements to land units.

This might be the year to do it, seeing how most of real life has been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
