Status: offline 		Hi, I am a newbie at EiA. I never played the board game before and I am struggling with the PC game's interface and rules of the game.

I think that a PBEM with only other frustrated fellow newbies could be a good way to stay motivated to learn the game.

Any voluntaries?

Conditions:
*being a total newbie
**struggling to death with the game

;-)

Status: offline 		Hi guys! i am dong my best but the game is definitely too hard to play.. i am waiting for the official tutorial to be released. But to be honest, so far, the game seems to me to be unplayable, at least for a low IQ like mine .... wait and see but i am not too much optimstic.

Status: offline 		Okay, so we got five perhaps six (ill explain "perhaps" in a moment)...Were set with...

lenin
Roose
satyr (my buddy)...

Now there are two options to consider one we try to play one night of the week, this way we can get mutiple turns in hopefully, by sending the game file on to one another in order, and keep going to "x" time lets say...

that options would exclude MaxTL from the game, being in italy..and im assuming, and i could be wrong, that the rest of us are USA players, and the time difference would make scheduling impossible.

Now if ppl ARENT concerned in how fast the game goes we've got six and can start as soon as we get sides worked out.

So point TWO, do we wish to bid or simply pick countries, I can speak for myself and satyr that we would play either country. (Oh fyi, trust me, we wouldnt work together we compete against each too much to help the other). So let me know whats everyones opinion on these two issues and lets get playing.

Steve

Status: offline 		Okay ...so since we have at least TWO not in USA, we'll have to go simply mailing turns as they go, and NOT plan on a single night a week to play.

With that out of the way....

WHICH country do ppl want to play or do we bid?

Status: offline 		hi to everyone.
I am in Italy too.
I'd like to play with Spain or Russia but I have no problem about other choice.
Because I am a beginner (as I said) I wait istruction about the procedure to start.

Status: offline 		I'm uk based. Don't mind what country I play, and am happy to fit in with everybody else. Don't care if it takes an age either. I think most of us are new to the game and need as much time to read and absorb the manual as possible!
