cris,
Check your email. I'm a newbie myself (about 4 or so games completed). I'd love to play a pbem game. Let me know.

To follow up on Muldane's first point.....
I've been playing war games a while now (abt. 17 years)and CM just blows me away!! When I played wargames in the past I always felt "distanced" from my troops, war was more "strategic" than exciting -- like chess--(not to knock chess)--but with CM....I get this visceral excitment watching the playbacks, get hooked into the "stories" and little battles of particular troops, more than once, when one of my shermans got brewed I banged so hard on the desk I scared the pets out of the room.
[sigh]I guess it time to be honest with myself. I too am newly hooked... assimilated...I...well...[gulp] My name is Oompa...and I'm a CMholic!! [sniff, small sob] I'll just sit down again and listen.
