I have never played a PBEM game, but am pretty expercienced in war games. So, I have a few questions and I thought this would be a good place to ask them:
1. How quickly are turns usually handled? One a day or more?
I ask because of things like the job, wife, baby on the way scenarios!
2. Are there special rules for PBEM? I understand that everything is quick combat, but am unaware of anything else..
3. Can tehre be up to 8 players in a PBEM? Thought would be awesome to have all the nations human...
4. I am sure there are lots of things you veterans can tell me so please do!
I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say and then to maybe play a PBEM or two!!

Status: offline 		pablo, do you want to set it all up? I am at work and will be until about 630pm CST. I could jump on it when I got home if the turn was waiting for me. What are the procedures of a PBEM? If you could walk me through it would be great! I don't care what country or time period, I just want the knowledge!

Status: offline 		I would like to play as well. I just got the game and am figuring it out.

What Scenario? Standard

Sides: I would like to play Russia if possible.

Game length: 5 years
Victory: Most Glory at the end?

Email is sleens@epixremove.net

I could setup the game if everyone lists what sides they want to play.

I am still in the "figuring out" stage as well so a shorter game of five years is ok with me. Standard and most glory are also ok with me.

my e-mail is JDJordan01@sbcglobal.net

Status: offline 		I only suggested Standard Scenario as there is documentation from Ralegh on setup and first turns for each of the nations, which should give us a good start. I suspect we will not get through one year without wanting to restart as we learn about the game and the PBEM system.

So I have.

MarcelJV = Russia email sleens@epixremove.net
Munited18 = Britian emal: munited18@hotmailremove.com
Jordan = Prussia
Krec = Turkey email: kevyrec@sbcglobalremove.net

How long do you want to wait to see if we get others?

Email addresses will be need to move the files around.

It looked like mac85 and guenter might be interested players (hopefully austria and france) should we wait a couple of hours (I'm currently noon in san francisco) to give them a chance?

Status: offline 		I believe the turn sequence starts with France and goes in order of the screen when the game is setup.

I can setup and send the game to the first player, I think. Have not tried it with this game yet. Heck why don't I try it now. Get back to you in a few minutes.

OK, I am back, you did not notice? Munited18 you should start the game as Britian is after France in the PBEM system.

Start the game and select PBEM, then change Britian, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey to Human. Set Scenario to Standard, leave difficulty to Normal, Set game length to 5 years and victory to Highest Glory. When prompted call the game BPRTGame.

When emailing please zip the two files you need to send. Files end in .sve and .rep.

Here is the turn order and the email addresses as we have them.

Britian - munited18 Email: munited18@hotmailremove.com
Prussia - Jordan Email: JDJordan01@sbcglobalremove.net
Russia - MarcelJV Email: sleens@epixremove.net
Turkey - Krec Email: kevyrec@sbcglobalremove.net

Look forward to the game. Lets kick some French and Turkish ass.

Status: offline 		Ok, we can wait. If no more takers then munited18 will start the game tonight. IF we get a france player then he/she will need to start the game.

I will check back tonight 8:00 pm or so Eastern Standard Time to see where we are.
