Description:

This is a yahoo groups / discussion group for forming a new WWI PBEM game
based off the OPENWAR system originated by Jens Niemann (1999-2002) and
perfected by Dave Clay (2004-2006). The game combines detailed military
hex based strategy, with national budgets and diplomacy.

We would like to bring about a new, fourth game, using the OpenWar system.
This would be a pay to play game, aprox 1 turn a month. The game takes
place during the first world war and gamers control the United States,
Lindley M. Garrison, Germany, Field Marshall von Moltke,  Great Britain,
Lord Kitchener, France, Field Marshall Joffre, Russia, Grand Duke
Nicholas, Austro-Hungary, Arch Duke Freiedrick, Ottoman Empire, Enver
Pasha, Italy, Field Marshall Cadorna, China, Chang Hsun, Japan, Terauchi
Masatake.

The website for the original WWII PBEM run by Jens can still be viewed at
http://wwii.sepic.org/ The second game run by Dave can be viewed by using
the www.waybackmachine.org/ to look at www.wargaming.org.uk In early 2006
Dave ran a short lived third game that was based off of the first world
war.
