<r> Thanks for the Pontics hints. <br/>

Yes, supply is important. Is there a good tutorial somewhere?<br/>

Lastly we have tried the alliance thing again. I am seeing a notice that the Pontics are offering an alliance to Sertorius, but I can't find any option to accept it. Where <I><s ...

The Pontic Diplomatic option of alliace offer to Sertorius should work in PBEM. After Pontus sends the offer, a new Diplomatic option should appear for Sertorius player to accept it or not (at a cost of some EP and VP).<br/>

RE: Ist coop PBEM possible?

Wow, 20 turns in it's quite hard to get used to it - so much is happening behind the scenes. And those Roman generals (I am playing Sertorius) are slippery as hell. I battered one of those 4-legion stacks into oblivion, but the General escaped to Carthago Nova with 700 men!

Okay, found out how to turn back time ;-). It looks like there may have been a problem with the file - now zipping it seems to work. Thank you!

Now if only those lazy generals would get away from their orgies and onto a horse :P.

Ist coop PBEM possible?

<r> Hi! <br/>
<br/>
Is it possible to run this game in some sort of coop mode (based on scenario, of course) via PBEM? I can't find anything if I enter those keywords and I am looking for a nice game to play via PBEM.<br/>

Coop is preferred, going to head-to-head sometimes is not good for ...

RE: Difference between campaign scenarios?

<t> So if I want to play a campaign from the US side of things, that takes off after the movie Pearl Harbor (;-)), but doesn't throw any extra bricks my way, I'll start with scenario #6? I imagine the Quiet China is more important when you are playing Japan? Or does it make sense in order to reduce ...

Difference between campaign scenarios?

Now that I solved the resolution problems I am starting one of the smaller scenarios to learn the game. Thinking ahead about what to do when I am done with that (harhar), I was looking at a full campaign - and am once more confused.<br/>

I am a bit flabbergasted right now. Finally pulled the trigger on WitP and I am actually very much disappointed from the start. Not only did the updater bug out (I managed to get the game updated after a while, rebooting the PC), but the game itself is giving me eyesores with ...

Now I triumphed (340 pts) in Uncle Mark's NATO surface group tutorial. That does make me a Command master now, doesn't it? ;-) ;-) ;-)
