It looks interesting to me, but as my long term interest is in playing MP, I don't want to mess with it if it isn't in wide spread use. I can see that the doubling of necessary Emailing could be a large turn off.
I'm also interested in playing the Volcano alt scenarios and the rule isn't listed as one that should be used with them. Do you veteran players think it should be a no-go with the Volcano battles?
I don't think anyone uses MDF for PBEM games as it slows the turns down so much, of course the default system has it's faults as you have to rely on the programme to do your defensive fire, but overall the pro's of the default system outweighs the cons.
If you are going to play the _alt scenarios you only use the optional rules listed at the top of this forum. ;)
