Found a copy of GDW's strategic game Imperial. Anyone else have it? If so,
care to try PBeM?

Is that "Imperial" or "Imperium"?  If the latter, I've done a V_Map
tileset that would make PBeM fairly easy...

VMAP? I'm in. All of a sudden there's four of us.

And does everyone have the FT-Imperium notes ? Look at
http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jwlyon/FT/imperium/imperium.htm nad root
around in http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jwlyon/FT/imperium/ I have yet to
see an index in that directory, but it's all fairly cool.

I've only played my copy of Imperium once, but enjoyed it. It's a very
interesting game of nodal strategy. The economic system keeps it from being as
bad as Starfire is (fortify all strategic warppoints to make assault suicidal)
with the strategic chokepoints in node structured movement. And it looks to me
as if the campaign will be where this game becomes the most entertaining.

Well actually, Imperium's really hard to do more than two players and I'm
going to be starting a Battlefleet Mars PBeM pretty soon, so I'd really better
not start this one. You guys are welcome to the tileset though. I'm expecting
permission to be able to distribute on the web Real Soon
Now..

TTYL..

Want to make it 5? BTW Mike, I am just outside of the bay area if you want to
try FTF Imperium.

FTF is a possibility, limited by my utter lack of transportation. As for
email, I've got three email games right now (one unmoderated, which is
providing LOTS of inspiration for pbem utilities) so taking on a fourth would
be unreasonable for the time being. Still, its something to do later.
