Description:

What would have happened if Germany had won World War 1?  What about if
the United States waged a late 19th century war against Britain and
conquered Canada?  Sphere of Influence is a historical strategy game that
will set players on the path of the dangerous arms race that eventually
culminated in the Great War, but could have played out many other ways.
Can you steer your country towards greater power than historically
achieved or will you meet an early fate at the hands of a cunning foe?

Sphere of Influence is a play by e-mail game.  Each player receives a turn
sheet via e-mail and then fills it out and mails it back.  Roleplaying is
not required at all to play this game but it is supported.  The game spans
from 1881 to 1921 and each turn lasts 1 year.  The turn sheet is designed
to be self-explanatory minimizing the need for detailed rules.

Email your top 3 country picks to delkana zat gmail.com.  Your turn sheet will
be sent out once the GM has it prepared.  Feel free to join in!
