Hi Ya'll,
I'm Probus. Since starting my wargame collection in the 70's, I'm just now beginning PBEM. Wow, have I been missing out!

A little about me. I work as an avionics test engineer. We develop and/maintain software that tests USAF aircraft avionics and diagnoses failed parts for airman/operators to repair. We work with a wide range of technology from the 80s to state of the art.

Hobbies include, wargaming, 4x games, ancient (1500 years or older) coin collecting, electronics, & all things spaceflight. Many favorite authors, mostly fantasy/science fiction from Robert Heinlein to Philip K Dick, Douglas Adams to Orson Scott Card.

Here are a few of my favorite games over the years and in no particular order:
  • Steel Panthers (all)
  • Combat Mission (all)
  • Harpoon
  • Empire Deluxe
  • Civilization III
  • Galactic Civilizations III
  • Masters of Orion II
  • X-COM (all)
  • Kerbal Space Program
EDIT: BTW, My avatar is an ancient Greek coin with the head of Zeus. Probus is a Roman emperor (AD 276 to 282) and "Thrax" means The Thracian, used in the title of another Roman Emperor, Maximinus Thrax.

Have you tried CMANO yet
A very worthy successor to Harpoon
 
Fond memories playing Harpoon miniatures against several opponents who never got the concept of Emcon tight! Haha

A man of good taste, I've started a new KSP save using the Kerbalism mod, oh and the Outer Planets mod.
Welcome and happy gaming :)
