Can't help you out at the moment, but we're in the process of creating a
Win95 PBeM Wargame based in a gameworld of one of our forthcoming table-top
RPGs. Not only can you send email turns to each other, but if you are online
at the same time, you can play turns while chatting to other people or
browsing the net. Turns are imported from an email client, or direct across
TCP/IP and moves processed on the fly.

It also includes hundreds of customisable units for all sides, as well as
lots of 3D-rendered graphics and content. There is also fog-of-war, research
& development, and really really really big weapons (like viral engines,
web-bombs and Screamer Cannons. You also have to co-ordinate
space/air/land/sea combat at the same time, across whole planets.

We will be looking for playtesters when we're ready to go to the playtest
stage. This should be within 12 months. A bit long to wait I know, but the
wait will be worth it.
