Is there a way to boot a player that I've invited to a private game, that has never joined?  Or I guess worst case, is there a way to terminate a game that I'm hosting?

I was just about to post pretty much the same questions for this game:

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/38180

 

In your games list find the game and click on the game name link, then click delete game.

Maybe I'm overlooking something here, tried that and I don't see the delete game option.  I get several more options once the game starts, but not while still waiting for someone to join. 

I see, once someone joins the delete button disappears, that seems like a bug, so I am not sure.

It's a feature not a bug... I think the original reasoning was that you shouldn't be able to delete games after someone else has joined to prevent abuse of this but for private games it's probably overkill.

I've enabled this so you should now see a Delete button for Private games in the Join phase irrespective of how many other players have joined. 

Note also that you can also go in and invite more players, so if someone is not joining you don't have to kill the game and redo it all.

Thank you!

Awesome, thank you for the quick response!

Is this the same for realtime games? I see this as bad if it is since creating a game that doesn't fill up should be deletable before logging off for the day. In general, I don't see the need for this, as host if I decide to delete a game before it started, I do not see a potential abuse, once started, then there should not be the ability to delete. What am I missing?

The Host can Delete Lightning games at any point while in Join phase.

 

Yes, realtime games can be deleted at any time by the host for precisely that reason.

Edit: Beat me to it!

Thanks
