When you start a scenario, on the main screen it list the Opponents. Clicking on the "Human" or "AI" lable will cycle through the available options: Human or AI or AI+ or AI++.

Select "Anti PBEM Cheat" for PBEM games or deselect it for head-to-head games and against the AI.

DOH!!! You have to select "Passwords" also. then when you start the game it will ask for a password. When your turn is finished either save teh game and send to other players or let the other player have your seat and they will enter a password for their side.

PBEM is lots of fun. It adds a lot to the game. Enjoy.

Status: offline 		Not really fast paced no. But if you arrange a time where you and the other player(s) are all in front of your computers then doing turns and email right away, a game could move pretty fast.

No problem with teh questions. Most players here will answer any that you have. Good group.

When you want to play just post in the forum and someone will take you up. Playing better players is a great way to learn the game and get ideas. All are always ready to help out... even during a game.

Have fun.

So how does, say, a 4 player PBEM game work? Does player 1 email player 2....player 2 emails player 3 etc....?

Lots of fun. Just make sure everyone is in for the long haul. Nothing kills a game like someone dropping out without contact.
