Hi, thanks for the response, I'd already stumbled across EBP but it's not quite what I'm looking for - not playing a live game against an opponent, but where...
Michael, what you are probably looking for is the online version of Mayfair's "Iron Dragon". http://www.irondragon.org/ I don't know if it's still active. -...
If you don't mind the manual step of emailing your opponent, play by email can also be facilitated by EBP. You take your turn, save the game, and email the...

... I don't think Iron Dragon allows for a play-by web option. It's still a live game from what I understand....
I stand corrected. Yes, Iron Dragon is a standalone application, rather than being web-based.  - Phillip Bump ________________________________ From: Jason...
... Michael, sadly what you are looking for doesn't exist. There use to be a site (way way back - LONG time ago) called MPGN.net that did what you are looking...
I host an occasional game with 2 or 3 friends, using cyberboard. This would seem to be exactly what the original poster desired. Cyberboard is a windows...
Unfortunately Eden Studios no longer has the licensing rights for Iron Dragon so you can't buy the license anymore and are stuck with just the 15-turn demo. ...
Close, but still not quite. I'm really looking for something specifically browser-based, as I can then easily play my turns from any of the 3 computers I am...
I have the same problem with my EBplayer. My computer runs Win XP. I have found that a restart fixes the problem but that is annoying. I haven't positively...
Just a reminder that Cod Con is coming up. There will be the very impressive Board Game Library again this year. If you want to get a specific game going I...
This is your monthly reminder,it will be held at  Sheraton Gateway Suites 6501 N Mannheim Rd Rosemont,IL 60018  August 8-11,2009 (Just before GenCon) ...

Hello! I am new to this group and have a question. Has anyone here heard of Avalon Hill's game Dispatcher? If so, do you have any hints or variants for the...
Andrew: I have played Dispatcher, though a long time ago. I'm not sure of how to answer your questions. If you would like to send me an eMail with specifics,...
+-- ... +-- This is a very old game, from somewhere around 1950. I have a photocopy of the game and have played it a couple of times. It's an interesting...
They came out with MARTIAN RAILS? COOL! When did that one come out? "People should not be afraid of their government, a government should be afraid of its...
Rob, Martian Rails is not out yet. Mayfair Games is working on it. People have prototypes and playtest copies have been available at various cons for 2+ years....
Greetings, I own the game and have played it once. I think of that single play as an accomplishment as the game is a really difficult game to start with, and...
Dispatcher (I believe also sold under the name C&O/B&O) was a game that the players had nothing to do with. By that I mean, there was little a player could do...
Thanks, Bill! I’ll take you up on that after I dig it out again and set it up, maybe next week sometime. Andrew ... From: railgamefan@yahoogroups.com...
Dispatcher and C&O/B&O are two separate games with two different train scheduling scenarios. You're also incorrect on there being "little a player could do to...
I am sorry for not staying with the correspondence over Avalon Hill's "DISPATCHER." This note is for those who gave it some attention during the last month....
Has anyone on this list been to Origins? I never have, and I've wondered how much rail gaming occurs there compared to other conventions. -Steve...
