    And whatever play order people think is fine by me. I am in PBEMs where I send to Rho, and I don't really have a handle on how much later he gets them.
    The issue is more one of when the save arrives, is that person most likely to be :

    a) asleep
    b)at work
    c) at their computer and ready to play.

    That is what we try to establish with the order. So if MWIA plays sometime in normal Oz time and sends to me - the save should be ready to go first thing in the morning. As with Paddy's saves ai Grand Passage, I was able to play them over breakfast and get them on to Wittlich. Now - I believe Witt is heading back to school, so I am not sure you can play morning in san Fran, in which case, Theseus, given what he has posted above, would be the next logical choice. If you are able to play mornings Witt, I will slot you in after me.
    Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.

          The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

            I would usually get them while I was at work and not be able to play them for 8+ hours. The Grand Passage game worked so well because of what Beta was talking about where I would send to Paddy in Oz and he would get it back to the east coast by the time Beta was able to play. That (and con coming on to replace SirOsis) allowed us to keep a turn-a-day pace for the past month and end the game yesterday.

              Yes, I habitually check for any save files in the morning (round 0530-0600 PST) and then again in the afternoon, and on last time before I retire for the night (at around 2100 PST - That's 9PM for you civilians/non-Europeans).

                      Are Hittites considered not great in MP? I nearly chose them over Egypt...

                        Actually I have no idea. I've never played them in a PBEM so it will be a new experience. In that I'm looking forward to it. But as Beta can tell you, since we were discussing it a few days ago, I knew I would end up with the Hittites.

                              So... once we get started, do people do DARs, or just flame each other?

                                Usually we just flame each other but it might be interesting to write up some DARs like the AU601 game. We just need to make sure no one else in the game reads each other's DAR.
