PBEM NEWBIE

[munited18]

All:
I have never played a PBEM game, but am pretty expercienced in war games. So, I have a few questions and I thought this would be a good place to ask them:
1. How quickly are turns usually handled? One a day or more?
I ask because of things like the job, wife, baby on the way scenarios!
2. Are there special rules for PBEM? I understand that everything is quick combat, but am unaware of anything else..
3. Can tehre be up to 8 players in a PBEM? Thought would be awesome to have all the nations human...
4. I am sure there are lots of things you veterans can tell me so please do!
I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say and then to maybe play a PBEM or two!!

Ok we can play a game if you want

[munited18]

pablo, do you want to set it all up? I am at work and will be until about 630pm CST. I could jump on it when I got home if the turn was waiting for me. What are the procedures of a PBEM? If you could walk me through it would be great! I don't care what country or time period, I just want the knowledge!

Do you need another player? I'm a total noob but would enjoy a pbem learning experience.

[Guenter]

I am also new to this game and would like to play in a slow pace PBEM. If I may I'd like to join in.

[Guenter]

So, no one interested in this game? [&:]

[Krec]

i can join in if you need another

[munited18]

I am interested and can do my turn after 7pm Central Standard time for a slow paced PBEM. Anyone want to start it up?

[Jordan]

I am interested if you still need players. I am from the bay area in CA. Have played strategy games off an on and I appreciate a fun and enjoyable game. Have never done PBEM before but would like to try. A slower paced game interests me as well...new born and eight year old.

[mac85]

That's six of us. I suggest we pick countries; I'll have last pick, and then get things moving![:D]

[MarcelJV]

I would like to play as well. I just got the game and am figuring it out.

What Scenario? Standard

Sides: I would like to play Russia if possible.

Game length: 5 years
Victory: Most Glory at the end?

I could setup the game if everyone lists what sides they want to play.

[Krec]

i would like to try turkey

[munited18]

I will take Prussia if that is all right, but I have no real preferen. Scenario details are whatever everyone else wants. This is mostly just a PBEM tutorial for me! [;)]

my emails is munited18@hotmail.com

[Jordan]

I would like to play Prussia or Britain but am willing to play as any country if somebody else wants those.

I am still in the "figuring out" stage as well so a shorter game of five years is ok with me. Standard and most glory are also ok with me.

[munited18]

Jordan you can take Prussia and I will take Britain if you want. I have played as both..

[Jordan]

You got in first so if you want Prussia that's OK with me. Either way is fine. You choose.

[munited18]

ok. I'll take Britain

[Jordan]

Prussia it is for me then. Is Fredrick the Great still alive in the 1805 scenario?

[Jordan]

We've got Russia, Turkey, Britain and Prussia.

Could use an Austria and a France.

[MarcelJV]

I only suggested Standard Scenario as there is documentation from Ralegh on setup and first turns for each of the nations, which should give us a good start. I suspect we will not get through one year without wanting to restart as we learn about the game and the PBEM system.

So I have.
