I was up late last night playing a campaign and would love to join in the noobie game if any nations are left.

I am in the Pacific time zone, USA and can do a turn every night or morning before work.
Let me know...

bimbo_15_63@yahoo.com

Thanks,
James.

I would say we try to get 8 players and restart the game. Paul, if you are still interested you can take Austria and I play Sweden instead.

samthesham: So we have one more, Spain or Sweden? Email address needed as well.
bimbo1555: Ok, which will it be, first one to respond get there choice.

munited18: I have been playing on normal and getting my butt kicked so unless you are doing great against normal I would say we leave it for this go around.

Have we confirmed the MAC85 is taking France?

Just let me know which I'm playing and I'm ready. OH, this is bimbo1555 but I tried to re-register using my home email and it said it sent a confirmation there but I haven't seen it so I re-registered again and am now TheRockSal.

So, again, I am in the Pacific time zone, USA and can play whichever country no one wants!

My home email is bimbo_15_63@yahoo.com

Looking forward to trying this out...played many Matrix games but never PBEM, so I'm looking forward to it.

James.

Just to clarify something since I wasn't in the first practice turn go around yesterday.

We all do our turns and then the creator runs the full turn, I assume. Is there a report generated to each player giving them info from the turn, such as provinces won/lost, men killed/enemies killed, diplomatic agreements/denials. OR, do we just find that out when it gets to our turn again?

That's pretty much it...I understand the loading, saving, zipping, sending part. It seems like when you load a game, it would automatically load the game parameters but if we have to do it manually, that's fine.

I have 3 more hours here at work and really want to be home studying Spain as I've not played them before....really, I need to work on a lot of stuff so I don't look too noobish!

James.

Looks like I need to slip out of work early to go practice, er, to attend a parent/teacher conference.

I haven't played PBEM before so I don't know if you get a report or not.

I have a cube so no luck on the playing part.

The summary that you get at the end of the normal turn I believe is presented on your player turn. There is a replay feature but I have heard it does not work with PBEM, it may be that people are not sending both the save and the rep file. Check the manual on how to use the replay function as I have not tried it. I might do a practice PBEM and see how it works.

With regard to plotting feel free to begin.
Any plotting is allowed by me.

There is no replay feature. It aint in the manual and it aint in the game. Neat idea though. The rep file is used for the event report - open it in notepad and have a look.
(And yes, Alice, you do need to send both files.)

If you guys need a fillerinnerer for someone who goes on holidays or something, use me. Best of luck, and may the politics begin!

Mac has emailed me the turn and I will jump on it as soon as I make it home!
The game is under way!
Also, check out Mac's AAR in the AAR section. I hope we can all maybe contribute, without giving any clues away. If you want to that is.
Finally, I have already received a great email from one our number, and it really helped to "set the mood" for the game. I encourage everyone to do this to help keep us thinking about the game between games. Good fun!
Good Luck to everyone and......

PREPARE FOR BRITISH DOMINANCE!

Oh wait, you don't have to "prepare" for it because it's already here!

Spain has made preparations so any hasty fleet transport landings, and any help with your Portugal brethren will be foolish, as you will be focused on one front and not prepared for the other front which could materialize when you least expect it...be very careful in your endevors.
