Is that a general challenge for a mass PBEM game?

I'm about 2 weeks away from having my PBW site up. The perl module is alpha.
I'm working on a Javascript interface. When I feel it works well I have some
mass PBW games in mind.

Can you say "Trevors Star"?:) One Admiral, 3 or 4 Rear Admirals and Commodores
(or would that be "Rear Admiral, Lower Half"?) and as many fleets, per side.
The anal can work with individual ships, the not-so anal can
give fleet orders.

Or, on a different note, how about games mixing Vector and Cinematic?

You've talked with Colin Plummer who's also working on this sort of thing?

I'm in! I'll take a poll of my first squadron command to see if I ought to be
a flag officer. But do note that the RMN does use the rank of Commodore.

Actually, I knew that, the "Rear Admiral, Lower Half" is me referring to the
comments made in the USNavy when they renamed Commodore to Rear Admiral, Lower
Half because the Commodores were annoyed at being referred to as Commander. So
now they are just "Lower Half". It fits.
