Expectations
#3
"do play by mail games have any basic expectations about them that a player starting a new game would recognize as uniquely play by mail?"

Yes, the fact that you'll be called upon to 'roleplay' more than normal.  Even in a straight up wargame 'I move unit X here' will include the unspoken 'I hope to achieve Y' and then at the other end almost everything you'll do is done via roleplaying.

I guess to go along with that thought would be expect to interact with the other players ALOT more.

And finally you'll be on a time table, no playing only when it suits you.  For the game to work you have to agree to what ever turn around time there is.
