I understand what you mean firstly it makes the battle more engaging keeping the flow if played regulary, for me over 3 days l lose the flow of the battle & have to think what I was doing trawl up from memory where that ATG fired from etc.
Yeah, I know your current opponent really well and it's really agrivating when he goes a couple of days without posting. You're good to be patient with me. OH! I mean him.

RL has been a little interesting of late, so my games have been "choppy" to say the least. As I play in the mornings before work, it only gives me about an hour to play tops, and if the night before wasn't so good....you can understand. Luckly my computer, which we are replacing here soon, is running better now that I removed 1/8" (3 mm) of dust from the vents and fans.

I do like the smaller games better as I'm able to fit them in to my schedule. I accually had one opponent send me a set of files, and then sent me a new set up on a smaller scale so it would work better with my schedule and computer (pre-dust clean up). I was and am very grateful to him.

I would be interested in doing a small scale tournament and would be willing to committ to one, in the circumstance that I have finished my other games and able to give it top priority. I feel confident in committing to at least 4 turns a week. Now, as a few oppoents can attest, as far as MBT is concerned, I'm a beginner and so may be out early on. I'm okay with that so long as I get an opportunity to learn how to be better.
