What do you consider acceptable PBEM turnaround?

[Skirmisher]

I think I might have trouble keeping up to three or more turns per day. But on the other hand I haven't played a turn in my current game for about 6 days now. Each day I get no turns in my email.
I want to see what my cluster munitions are going to pop next!

Me, I have 3 Campaigns and 1 Scenario going I try to shoot for 1 turn a day, occasionally other things come up. If I know I'm not going to be sending turns out, especially over several days, I'll send an email out to that effect. I think most people do try to get the turns out, me I'd rather see well-done turns than rushed. IMHO

How are those PBEM campaigns working out? Is it basically like playing an AI campaign,except its not the AI?

As far as turns being well done, thats a big reason I try to keep unit counts down at all costs in a PBEM. If your dealing with huge armies on the largest maps, it's expected that it will take much longer to process.

The game I'm currently waiting for is small. France (me) vs Netherlands 2008 It's a 100 H X 120 W map, but we only get 5700 points each and 2 air. So theres not an excess of units on the map. Turns are quick. Shouldn't take a week to get a single turn done.

I have also played a few opponents (who I won't mention) that completely forget about an ongoing game, and it never gets finished. The last such game I was doing pretty good in too, then boom nothing.

I'm having fun.. I'm playing a large and a medium campaign and small battle in WW2.....and a large one in MBT.

I love this game, Bob Out

Love PBEM campaigns. There's one or two minor bugs to work out, but I don't think I'll play any other way.

As for unfinished games, try The Blitz wargaming club. If someone does disapear, you get to chalk up a win, and your opponent gets a loss. You can see how many games and how often your opponent has played, and their win percentage etc. If you play a regular member, unfinished games are very rare...

Seconded. The Blitz is a very good site for finding PBEM opponents. You also have the option to set your 'availability' and number of concurrent games, so others know what to expect in terms of turns per day. (Or days per turn, I still say one or two days is perfectly normal)
