What you want to do is go into the game and then when the play screan comes up hit play by e-mail. From here it will bring you into the scenario list screen, if you are starting a game, go into preferences and set the points, air, and all your other preferences that you agreed to with your opponent. Now exit out of the preference screen and hit battle. This will bring you to the battle generator. Here you will change the year and month to the time period you want, and change the two countries you want, finally you can change the weather, visibility, and map size if you would like. You can also change the type of engagement but it defaults to a meeting engagment. Leave the map to random. Now click on the continue button and you go into the purchase screen and you can purchase your units. Also in the purchase screen will be able to view map and mission. View map will let you see the type of terrain you are going to be fighting on so that you can purchase accordingly. View mission gives you the length of the game and the visibility also important so that you can purchase accordingly. Once you have purchased all your troops, hit the done button now you will see two buttons pop up password and exit game. Hit the password button and enter in a password that you will remember. Once you have entered in your password you need to save the file in one of the slots from 2-12 these are the only PBEM slots. Give it a appropriate name like Rohdan-GE vs Gary-RU 1943 and then hit enter. This is important now. Wait a good ten seconds before you click out. This is due to the game saving very slowly you need to do this after every turn you play to let the game have time to save appropriatly. Quit out of the game.
Now open up a Winzip and name the file email3 or something similar that is discriptive to your opponent now go into the Matrixgames/SPWAW/email, change the listing to details so that you can see the end of the files. What you will be looking for is four email3(or the slot you saved the game in) files that have .AUX, .CMT, .DAT, & RMT. Zip these four, then attach the zipped file to an e-mail and e-mail it to your opponent. You are all done.
Now your oppoenent will open the file and purchase and set up then he/she will zip the files and send them back to you. Download the file and unzip it. You want to unzip it to the Matrixgames/SPWAW/email folder. Now enter the game, click on play email game, click on load, then click on the game file, then click start. It will ask you for your password, enter it in and then deploy your troops (stongly recommend not doing auto deploy). Plot prebombardment. Plot infiltrators. Plot Airborne drops. Plot Glory holes. Then exit out of the deployment and hit done with deploy. It will ask you again for your password enter it in. Now you will play your first turn. Once you have finished your turn, hit the end turn button. REMEMBER TO WAIT AT LEAST 10 SECOND SO THE GAME CAN SAVE PROPERLY. Now you need to zip your files and resend to your opponent. Repeat until victory or defeat. ENJOY
