Jordan is going to take Prussia and I will take Britain.

My email is munited18@hotmal.com

I am looking forward to getting started this evening...

[Jordan]

JDJordan01@sbcglobal.net = Prussia


It looked like mac85 and guenter might be interested players (hopefully austria and france) should we wait a couple of hours (I'm currently noon in san francisco) to give them a chance?

[munited18]

I don't mind waiting since it is still about 5 hours before I can get on my computer. However, I would like to get things going tonight.

[MarcelJV]

I believe the turn sequence starts with France and goes in order of the screen when the game is setup.

I can setup and send the game to the first player, I think. Have not tried it with this game yet. Heck why don't I try it now. Get back to you in a few minutes.

OK, I am back, you did not notice? Munited18 you should start the game as Britian is after France in the PBEM system.

Start the game and select PBEM, then change Britian, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey to Human. Set Scenario to Standard, leave difficulty to Normal, Set game length to 5 years and victory to Highest Glory. When prompted call the game BPRTGame.

When emailing please zip the two files you need to send. Files end in .sve and .rep.

Here is the turn order and the email addresses as we have them.

Britian - munited18 Email: munited18@hotmailremove.com
Prussia - Jordan Email: JDJordan01@sbcglobalremove.net
Russia - MarcelJV Email: sleens@epixremove.net
Turkey - Krec Email: kevyrec@sbcglobalremove.net

Look forward to the game. Lets kick some French and Turkish ass.

[MarcelJV]

Ok, we can wait. If no more takers then munited18 will start the game tonight. IF we get a france player then he/she will need to start the game.

I will check back tonight 8:00 pm or so Eastern Standard Time to see where we are.

[munited18]

Ok guys, and girls possibly. How do I "zip" a file? Sorry to sound like a computer goober, but I am lucky to be able to turn mine on!

[Jordan]

OK by me.

Didn't know we need to zip the files. I'll have to figure how to do that when I get home.

[Krec]

real easy , there are 2 files you just send them to the next player, very easy

[Jordan]

I've got the sending part down...done that. But I've never zipped a file before.

If you have a WinZip program in your version of windows then use the Wizard and it's a piece of cake. If you don't have it pre-installed then you can download a version from the internet. Try versiontracker.com and search for winzip

[MarcelJV]

I suggested zipping the files because I am not sure how big they will get or are.

To install a zipping program go to

http://www.winzip.com

There is a free 20 day download where you can try out the software.
You can also do a search on file zipping on google and then you will have lots of choices of software that does zipping, some is even always free.

[Guenter]

I take any country except France.

[Jordan]

Hi Guenter,

I think Austria, Spain, Sweden and France are still available. Looks like everyone wants to begin as soon as possible. Should be fun.

[munited18]

I am ready to go if you send me the first turn MarcelJV. I will knock it out and send it on!

[munited18]

Ok, the first turn is on its way to Jordan. However, I did not do highest glory and I left Austria as human. I thought we had picked up someone for that spot...

[MarcelJV]

yes I belive Guenter gets it.

We just need you email address Guenter. You get to be Austria.

[munited18]

Sorry that I didn't do Highest Glory. Will I be able to change it when it comes to me?

[Guenter]

Okay, Austria is fine. That's where I am from [:)]

Well, my e-mail address then is: cog_austria@chello.at

[Jordan]

Sent to Austria
