First ever PBEM

Post by Sergey45 »

Anyone want to try their first PBEM with me ? I just got the game, am still learning the basics, I am quite busy, so depending on the scenario, maybe 2-3 turns a week, maybe more.
Something really small at first just to get my feet wet.

Looking for a friendly, time taking challenge :)

I saw that you sent me a PM, however I am still a new user and it won't let me send any PM messages yet.

But yes, I would be very happy to play.

Maybe we can talk on the Matrix official discord ?

Sounds silly that the forum won't even let new users respond to PMs.

Okay I've just joined the discord channel. Feel free to PM me there!

It's my first ever game, what's the best way in doing it?

We wait for the game to finish ? And during the game, we take screenshots whenever something happens ?
Because posting every turn will get repetitive and also gives my opponent an idea of what I am doing.

You and your opponent do separate AAR'S and you guys don't look at each other's AAR'S. If you need to see some AAR'S, look at War in the Pacific Admirals Edition....GP

Look at the AAR'S here too....GP
