Does Anyone Still Play-by-Mail?

manganese4 asks: "With the ever increasing complexity of games and the desire to buy the bleeding edge of hardware, does anyone still participate in games in the old-time 'Play by (e)Mail' format? Remember the anticipation of wondering if the snow storm was going to delay the post and prevent you from executing a crushing blow with your rook or pacing your emails to give your opponent time to become distracted by something else on the Usenet groups!"

Yes, people still do this. See the Combat Mission series on Battlefront.

This game is prefectly designed for PBM and it still plays well directly connected.
The grahics are a bit dated compared todays standards, but it's got the best gameplay and realistic ballistics I've ever seen in a game.

If you want a true WWII wargaming experience, check this game out, it's great.
