Play Again - Link to Start/Join a Similar Game

I've had a look for this, but couldn;t find it anywhere:

Concise description:
In the 'Action box' on the in-game screen, you get one of the following messages:
You may take your turn now. [Begin Turn]
Waiting for your next turn... jump to your next playable game.
You have won... jump to your next playable game.
You have been eliminated... jump to your next playable game.

In addition to jumping to the next playable game, I thought it would be useful to have a find a similar game link, that would take you to the 'Start a Game' screen with all the relevant boxes checked.

Specifics:
  • An extra link in the action box on the in-game screen that would enable the quick-start/join of similar games.
  • The link would take you to the 'Start a game' page with all the relevant boxes checked.
  • The 'Start a game' automatically searches for waiting games to join before starting a game.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • It would be easier to set up and play a game-type that you played frequently
  • Less time spent clicking options and scrolling through the long list of maps looking for the one you want.

Like this...

Would be easier if this viewtopic.php?f=4&t=67162 suggestion was done at the same time too.

I know this is a two-year necro-bump, but I'd still like to see something like this implemented - perhaps now with the addition of optional invites sent out to any teammates, or opponents.

Sounds like some pretty cool beans here. I'm in a bunch of Lunar War (my FAVE map) games and it'd be nice to quick join others like it, especially once I get eliminated or, on the rare occasion, win. Your necro-bump is not in vain!! :)
