Sorry, never received an email. Lucky I keep an eye on this thread to see how you guys get on. 
I've had another report of PBEM not working right over at Poly, so this makes the second.
I'm not sure if it'll work at all as I don't test MP during my testing phase. I leave that up to you guys. I'll do a test as soon as I can though.

I believe I've fixed it for PBEM. After some changes, I can choose a mode, and it'll be applied throughout the game. Not sure if it'll work seamlessly (only ran through a few turns) but you'll find out in beta 3.
BTW, I'm pretty sure random events won't work as expected, but historical and open should.

Russia is pleased. Changes Moscow name to 'Dalegrad'.

Dale when you say random you mean no historical parameters at all, correct?

Beta 3 is up if you want to try a PBEM game.

The random events mode I mention is the third option you can choose on the game mode popup. There's accurate historical events, random historical events and open play. I very much doubt the random events option will work in PBEM.

I've been playing around with this great mod and would love to get involved with this PBEM if there is any room left ?

I'm interested also, as long as the AI is out of the picture for all of the major countries. What countries are available? How many turns per day are we looking at? Any contingencies for what happens if people drop out along the way?

Historical is fine, but Open would likely be more interesting. If Open, I would like one of the neutral countries such as Sweden or Turkey.

BTW, I am looking to play PBEM with the scenario map/#turns, not some random map. I tried the latest download last night, and it does look like it will set up a PBEM game for this scenario.

Also, if Historical, I would take Italy.

If we do historical, what role would Spain or Turkey play? Could they even join either side at all? In open play they would be fair game, but maybe they are restricted from doing much of anything in the historical mode. The two Balkans, Baltics, Norway and Finland would all be playable historically I believe.
I assumed in historical play that minor powers that were never in the war would be more interesting than those that did join the war since they would be able to join the war at will, no?
