www.mosehansen.dk - Ebsen runs a site that hosts ongoing games as a hobby, most of which run about a turn a day.
There's even a game that's open for players now, with totally standard rules and settings; a good way to get your feet wet in MP.
And, you might try getting some of the military to get a local LAN game going, or even hotseat - lots and lots of military gamers (not sure if you're military or civilian). If I was still at Centcom I'd try to round some up for you, but the gamers I personally knew all PCSed.
Good luck (with Dominions and with getting through the streets of Baghdad okay).
