I have not seen this discussed or in any manual...

I open PBEM, I create a challenge and PW protect it for my friend to join. He is now at work but can't I play round 1 of the Axis yet?? What does he need to do, go into PBEM as well, select my challenge, select his side?? Then I get an email we are open to play and I can go to my first round or what, very confusing...sorry...

Hi

You cannot play your first turn until the challenge has been accepted by your opponent.

You'll then get an email to say that the challenge has been accepted, and if it is you to go first then you'll be able to play your first turn.

It works this way to avoid anyone setting up a challenge, playing their first turn, not liking it and deleting the challenge, only to replay it again and again until they get the perfect first turn. Although most would never dream of doing this, the way it works prevents this from happening.
