Status: offline 		I love UV and have been playing for a while now but Ive never done PBEM before and am looking to face my first human opponents. Could someone explain to me how PBEM works and what I should do as far as sending turns, etc.? I am a Japanese player looking for allied players for Scen 17. Thanks!

Status: offline 		As Japan, on the FIRST turn, complete your moves and chose "end turn" either from the top menu or the "E" key.

Pick a slot to save it in.

Name it (in the right hand box).

Click "Save".

Click "done"

Then send your save game file (from \Matrix Games\Uncommon Valor\SAVE) which will look something like
"uvXXX_iceboy vs osullmi__05_01_42.uvs" (X is the slot number, and the date at the end will advance every turn)

Attach it to your email and send

The Allied Player loads that file, runs it, ends his turn, which goes to the Save Game screen, and sends it back to you.

When you load it, you will resolve the turn which generates the combat replay file, then make your moves, again ending your turn.

This time when you send, you must send the Save Game file AND the "uv001_CombatSave__05_10_42.uvs" file.

So, first turn, one file, following turns two files.

Allied always sends only save game file
