Wonderful review.
Couple of points for readers
"One thing that is inexcusable is the games insistence on the presence of the CD"
The publisher required Codo to have this on the retail very as anti-piracy. If you do buy the retail version you can use your 3 month, on a downloaded version of the game (without CD problem).
On the next release of an official release, the version on the retail disc will become obsolete and the problem will fade away.
As for the opponents wanted, there is a list on the official site that you can view to see who is waiting for a match.
Hope to see you on the battlefield

Yep, played this a lot in beta and it's quality. Go Codo!
After playing for the last 18 months now I can honestly say that the fun and anticipation of recieving turns is still there, how many games hold that kind of attention ?
to get opponents just visit the chat room in the forum or post on opponents wanted, ask for a quick game and someone will reply!
If you post in the opponents wanted section you will get a post within a few hours, no matter what time of day it is. As for people not playing their turns, this rarely happens and most people never actually experience this.
I guess I must have been very unlucky, (or very boring to play against) but I had five matches time out. Annoying, but there's always more fish in the barrel.
Played this for about two months now. I find as long as you have got 6-7 games on the go you will always have a turn to play during those never ending tea breaks. You can send messages with your turns and some of the comments and observations are a peach.
