I had similar experiences with "Republic of Rome". A game where you have to trust the other players as not to get beaten by the game. Needless to say we got our asses handed to us every time...

Maybe at some point, but not now. I've never played anything through e-mail. How do you determine the die rolls?

Player 1: "I just just rolled all 6's again!"
Player 2: "Hey! So did I! What are the odds that we'd roll three hundred 6's in a row?"

you don't want to do that for axis and allies

What? Roll all 6's? Good point!

It would be good in Risk though.

My excitement for large bug is limited. I love squashing, for at least 6 months, maybe a year and will gladly play it when it comes out.

I can say I ate worms, ait it anxiously.

But I favor some heavy balancing in payment. and Civ4 it is free. I would gladly overdevelop for a gamely bug.

I knew someone who played boardgames through the mail back in the 70's. For die rolls they used a random number derived from stock quotes listed in the newspaper (though the exact mechanics elude me at the moment).
