RE: Changes/things you would like to see
Hi Chris;
Just wandered and thought I'd comment on the Main Event idea.
Main Event is something that DK cam up with on the CM forum. He gets two equal players to volunteer (doesn't always have to be the top 2) and then he gives them a map, and they purchase their kit. The moderator gets both passwords and is CCed on all the turns, and he posts up comments and pictures from the battle from turn to turn as it is played. The moderator does all the posting and commenting, although comments from the emails can be added in to give insight to the minds of the two opponents. In fact, the players should stay out of the forum until the battle is over to insure they don't spoil the FoW effect.
I don't know squat about playing CM, but confess that I still read the CM Main Event forums because it's always fun to read an AAR in my opinion and it's even more fun to read one written from a neutral point of view.
I'd love all of the forum communities to do Main Event style matches. Since it's the "Main Event" only one gets run at a time so as to not kill the moderators, and to sweeten the pot a medal or a bonus can be awarded for the participants.
Paul
