PBEM Games take 3 rounds of email per turn. A moves turn 1, B moves and processes turn 1, A views turn 1, B views turn 1 and moves turn 2, A moves and processes turn 2, B views turn 2, A views turn 2 and moves turn 3. Wash, rinse, repeat. AFAICT this is to prevent cheating by either player. If you are not sitting by your computer and processing several turns in a night, it's just a matter of math. You will get, at one segment a night, two turns a week. It will take twenty weeks to complete the Valley of Trouble from the Demo by email.

It seems the ATI drivers may be a problem for Combat Mission. I am trying out the Gold Demo and it will not work with the ATI drivers. Look at the thread: PB G3/266 Demo stops on about Oct 5th for the discussion that lead me to this solution.

You need to disable all of your ATI drivers. The game is running in the background and if you select (cmd)-q (for quit) the game will (under the black) display the (yes) (no) dialogue box and if you click around a bunch you can successfully quit the game. Typing (cmd)(opt)(esc) will also successfully force quit the application. There is a thread about 10 days old that describes this solution in the stages that the filks who solved it went thru - if I can find the title I'll repost it here. It is: PB G3/266 Demo stops It describes the steps fepp and others went through to find this solution.
