Deathstalkers PBW game

I would like to give it a try. This would be my first try, so I may need a little intel on how to play PBW. I am available for one or more turns a day.

Sure no problem, newbies are great, they oft time come up with strategies or a way of looking at things that those who play the game alot don't.

First things, go to the PBW site and find 'Deathstalkers Game', then sign up with an empire name. Then I can 'approve'/accept you to join, then create a 5000point empire (just start a game of se4, create an empire with 5000 racial points <any shipset> and save that empire file). Then after approved send in the empire file at the PBW site. If you are using a special shipset (borg etc) be sure to load it from the shipset directory or upload it to the PBW server.

Any other questions, just ask

I found the PBW site http://seiv.pbw.cc/ but I don't see any games listed. Am I at the right site?

Yep, right site. I guess you first have to register with a name and a password (just like for Posts at the shrapnel site) and then click games on the top navbar, go to 'open games' on the left navbar and my game is down the list of open games.

My first piece of advice for newbies is: if you haven't played much using Strategic Combat, set up a solo game with Tactical Combat turned off to practice on.

Hi
Got a few questions to ask, I want to make sure I understand the rules so I don't messed up the game.

I have downloaded your empire and just wanted to know what folder I unstall it to? Once the game starts does downloading the file also setup the galaxy and related files? When I look at the siev.pbw site under your game and under the commands column I have 'Withdraw' listed, can you tell me what this means? Once I completed a turn, I generate a turn and than save it and sent the turn, is this correct? Looking forward to playing the game.

Many thanks
