Two updates, one about sports and one about a wargame:

1. The Formula 1 Pick 6 guessing game rules are (soon) available as:

ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl:/pub/pbm/misc/formula_1_pick_6_rules.gz

BTW, in case you're wondering what's going on with the FTP sites,
Bryan McDonald hasn't had a chance to install the mirroring software
to run on a regular basis. This means that ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl is
up-to-date with the centralized archive, but ftp.erg.sri.com is 3
weeks out of date. Bryan promises me he'll install the software soon.
In addition, we soon should have ftp.funet.fi as our european site,
replacing tudelft, as Frits is getting a real job and leaving grad
school.

2. Oh yeah, the VGA-Planets like game. Here's the entry:

Game:           Medieval War
Ftp from:       ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl:/pub/pbm/misc

Description:

From the README file, looks like a game very similar to xconq
or Empire Deluxe, mentioned above. Can be played single-player
or play-by-mail; your cities build units and you move them
around. In play-by-mail mode, you do one turn, save the game,
mail the save-file off to the other players, they play a move,
mail it back, and so forth.

Requires Windows 3.1. Shareware.

Followups set to rec.games.pbm.
