PBeM Newbie
 

Hi!

I´d like to try PBeM with WinSPMBT. Got 4.0 version. I wonder how does the internet game work. If anyone could explain me briefly, he would get a novice with whom he could play. I am a novice (sorry,. looked now your ladder of skill...)

Thanks in advance!

Hi do not have time to take you on but as to how it works.
When select a battle (or scenerio) if set both players to human it will assume you are doing PBEM. Just buy as you would for a normal battle.
It will ask you to enter a password at some points to carry on.
When you first start (first time asks to enter password) their is a button to toggle degree of security. I would just leave as is most people seem to play with default (full)

Try setting up & playing yourself for 1 turn to see how it works.
Note with full security you can only play on one computer do not try having on laptop & home computer.
Also if you press the one key (numeric) during game it lists number of loads etc for each player.
Only thing you have to worry about is if your opponent gets a lot of fails he might well be cheating.
When you have finnished your turn zip or rar the 2 files to your opponent. They are located in PBEM Games folder

Be careful, Marshal - PBEM is addictive once you start playing!
