In the FTF format of the game if a player quits and no replacement is
available then that power's units just stand and fend for themselves.
Why doesn't the same apply in PBEM games - or at least after a reasonable
waiting period of , say , a week?
Looking at the openings list, I see some games being held up for several
weeks whilst waiting for a replacement - especially if the power concerned
is in a weak position.
