Dr. Jim Cobb and Jim Zabek cross swords in Field of Glory. How will these PBEM addicts fare?
Dr. Jim Cobb and Jim Zabek @ The Wargamer
Field of Glory has rapidly become my favorite game of late. I have been hopelessly addicted to the PBEM games, and managed to score an “Error 26” code – a warning from the game that I have tried to start too many PBEM games in one day (the cap is presently five per day, the rationale being to curb potentially spamming of the server from gamers who never want to play the game – fair enough, except that I get the shakes if I don’t have at least half a dozen games going simultaneously!)
Dr. Jim Cobb and I have been friends for years, having written and edited each others’ work for what might be closing in on a decade. PBEM games are a favorite genre for both of us, but I’ve never had the chance to cross virtual swords with him. So in a moment of desperation – being blocked the evening before from creating more than five games, and not having my fix of at least six, I resolved that I could at least find a dealer in Jim. By his review on another website it was clear he likes the game as much as I do, and who better than to try and break me from my PBEM addiction than him? I took the bait and asked if he was up for a game. That’s like asking if a wargamer has 50 games he has never played but won’t get rid of. The game was on.
