1813 PBEM. You send in map moves, the umpire and his wife game the battles with simple rules. link Might be too simple for you, might not. |

I've always enjoyed this group of PBEM games; lords-of-conquest.com I've played them all except the Si-Fi. Medieval seems the most popular. 23 players from around the world. Great fun! |

Yes it pays to be selective and shop around before committing to a PBEM game. I once spent quite a while on a campaign before realising the organiser had no clue about force ratios in the era concerned and the force multiplier represented by defending a built up area. A lot of wasted hours! |

I did that with a version of Aerodrome a few years back. |

The medieval warlords (or medieval diplomacy as it used to be) is also a very good game; had some crackers with that. It does rely a lot on the diplomacy aspect though so you need to be willing to spend time "chatting" over email. |
