Okay, gents, this may not be of interest to you, but I wanted to offer it anyway. If any of you are familiar with an old board game called Axis & Allies (it was insanely popular in the 1980s and 1990s) I have found an open source (i.e. FREE) version of essentially the same game system. If anyone is interested, I can send you the files, you can check it out, and if interested we try and get a game underway.
The open source version has been adapted to many other genres too, since there is a great editor system, including WWI and Napoleonic wars, but I can't vouch for those iterations. The original game system was simple, fast, and fun. And surprisingly balanced/realistic with just a few minor modifications. From my review of the open source version, you should be able to get the same kind of mileage from this via LAN/TCP/IP or PBEM play. There was a computer version of the original game in the early 2000s that seemed to play alright, but I have never been able to get it to play exactly right on a Windows 7 machine.
Lastly, here's my other gift to you guys. Here's how you know Christmas is over. BTW, this is NOT me.
