Hi,

I am heavy into fantasy war PBM, for example Adventurer Kings and
Warriors
& Wizards. AK looses some of its sparkle after 5 games (although it is
still
one of the best in my opinion) and Warriors & Wizards doesn't offer
enough mapping support (I have to spend 2 hours updating my own map,
mainly because I am not
willing to spend magic points on something I can do myself).

Anyway, does anybody know a real funky game out there that has the
following:

- good mapping support (i.e. you can fill in turn X+1 with just the
rulebook and the result of turn X)
- moderate player interaction (I don't have the time for heavy diplomacy,
so ME-PBM is out of the question)
- minimal drop-outs (my current W&W game, in which I am fairly much ahead
of the rest, feels like a shoot-out in a ghost town with cardboard
opponents)

Any suggestions welcome,

Karel
