And here is the email we kicked off with:
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for signing up and playing.
If you haven’t yet done so, can you please download the EiANW GAP program http://www.matrixgames.com/games/downloads.asp?gid=285
This is used to generate the bids
Please generate the bids and save the file with a name like this:
cckcdw-WinterQuarters (ie: MatrixForumLogin-GameName)
Then send these files to Mondaman (Richard de la Parra [rdelaparra@hughes.net] )with a subject line of ‘WinterQuarters Bid – cckcdw’
Mondaman will then do the bid opening and comparison using GAP and send the files back, then the game can start.
Please bear with us since this is probably the first PBeM game any of us have played, so it might take a turn or two to settle things down.
There can’t be that many of us out there in the world playing this so we should all do our best to get along.
Also please remember while this is an electronic board game the most fun is in the diplomatic manoeuvrings, back stabbings and loyally sticking by someone until your advantage is too great to resist. Don’t take anything personally it is just a game.
