The perfect PBW game?

[PvK]

I think it's a very subjective question. There are some players, for instance who can't always play a turn within 36 hours. There are others who don't lose interest if the turn pace is quite long, either.

Also, some players want to replay a turn (making everyone else replay the whole turn) if they notice something that doesn't seem right to them, such as they send in the wrong turn file, or an accident or bug occurs. Other players really hate re-doing a turn they spent an hour or more entering orders for, and would rather play through.

I would recommend though that people try games with smaller quadrants. It may seem like "bigger is better", but smaller makes for more interaction between all the players, and gives more tension and decisions to use some of the earlier techs rather than sitting around researching the end of the tech tree before getting around to fighting.

That's one thing I've always wondered about SE4 - if you ask to replay a turn, why do I have to re-enter my orders - if we're running the same turn again, why won't it accept the orders I put in the first time?
