Bingo!

This is what I want/need for Ogre. I've got one friend that plays in New Zealand and we have a hard connecting.

I mean it could work like this:

1. Bob tells the game he is open for invites and logs off.
2. Alice logs in and the matchmaker pairs her with Bob.
3. Bob gets a notification.
4. The game generates a scenario. Alice is assigned the first-to-deploy side.
5. Alice deploys and logs out.
6. Bob gets a notification.
7. Bob logs in and deploys. Then takes his first turn.
8. Alice gets a notification.
