There are a number of Excel spreadsheets that have been developed for 
PBeM games.  Dean Gundberg developed one for the Deneb Clash.  I had
one for my first tournament.  I've improved mine with some of Dean's
formulas for my second tournament and added other refinements.	You 
can obtain it from http://www.albany.net/~davis/ft.

The Full Thrust PBeM scene is quiet right now.	I know that another call
for players was issued several weeks ago but I haven't heard any follow
up report on that game.  Is it still active?  Is there any Web support
for it?

> Any body ever heard of PBem DSII and Ogre games either???

I've played the Ogre and GEV board games via e-mail using an honor
system
for dice rolls.  But I haven't played for about 4 or 5 years.

I don't know of anyone attempting a PBeM DSII game.  It seems to me that
SGII would be easier to run or play than DSII over e-mail.

Definitely a very cool page!  Your own scratch built models are
impressive.  Nice work.
