View and manage your Middle-earth PBM turns online
There are two ways to use JOverseerWeb — a quick look with no account, or a signed-in account that keeps your games between turns.

Quick view — no account needed
Upload a .jov file and your latest turn opens straight away: the map with fog of war and all its layers, hex info, characters, armies, population centres, artifacts and economy.
Nothing is kept on the server — the file is read and immediately deleted, and the turn data lives only in your browser until you close the page. One turn at a time, so there is no turn switching or history.
Register — keep your games
Create a free account to build a game library. Upload a .jov once, then import each turn's results as they arrive — your results zip works as-is (XMLs import, PDFs attach), or loose .xml/.pdf files — your whole game history stays available.
Everything in the quick view, plus:
- Switch between turns and compare them
- Turn results — what changed since last turn
- Combat calculator, with armies loaded from your game
- Character orders and full economy views
- Order checker — every order checked against your whole turn, with success odds
- Predicted turn — moves, battles, captures, gold and loyalty from your draft orders
- Multi-nation (team) games
Fair play & your data
Your turn data is your secret. Here is exactly how this site treats it: quick-view uploads are never stored — read, rendered, deleted. Account games are stored so you can return to them. You can delete a game from your library at any time: that erases your draft orders, turn PDFs and personal details (player name, account, address), while the anonymised turn data is kept to improve the game analysis and order checking.
Honesty requires saying this plainly: like any hosted service, whoever runs the server could technically read stored files. This site is run by an active MEPBM player, currently playing in games 918, 925, 928. If you play in one of those games, you'll see a warning before your data is kept — and you may prefer the quick view, which stores nothing. The operator commits to never looking at stored data for games they play in.
