"Playability"

[Cpt. Cook]

Just wondering how one rates a scenario's "playability" re. TCP/IP vs. PBEM. Wouldn't it be the same thing...?

[Cpl Carrot]

File transfer size would be a good indication. When playing TCP/IP I, for one, don't really want to sit through long upload times. Much better to just play it PBEM.

Of course this gets blurred with cable modems on the scene.

Also, battles with a really large number of units are better fought as PBEM, because of the large amount of time it takes to plot orders.

Well, what do you know. I've become a full-fledged member. I'll be strutting around the office all day. :D I just hope that I don't start obsessing about Brinell hardness factors, Romanian TO&Es, or get (too) involved in discussions of auto-exhaustion of units under MG fire.

Excuse me. Just doing a test.

It's embarrassing to be in a meeting, look out the window and mention that the other end of the parking lot would be an excellent place to go hull down.
