New player looking for a 'mentor' - MarkR - 08-29-2007 Anyone out there willing to walk me thru an email game of SPWAW? I've played other email wargames, would like to give this one a try. RE: New player looking for a 'mentor' - Greybeard - 08-29-2007 Hello Mark, What version of SPWAW? - you might want to consider downloading another couple of freebies.. WinWW2 and WinMBT available at www.shrapnelgames.com. These are also Steel Panthers games, and unless I'm incorrect, they are the most popular ones here at the blitz.. IMHO, they are better for PBEM balance than SPWAW - (sorry Vesku) However all of the games a great fun.. Welcome to the 'Blitz' Greybeard RE: New player looking for a 'mentor' - Weasel - 08-29-2007 Go with what Steve said, the DOS versions will give you headaches. RE: New player looking for a 'mentor' - Vesku - 08-29-2007 I will have to bow to the inevitable, WW2 and MBT are the most popular here so you might want to try them. It's so much easier to find opponent for them than SPWAW. I still don't admit that they are better :) RE: New player looking for a 'mentor' - MarkR - 08-29-2007 Okay, I'm downloading SPWW2 as I type this. Anyone interested in walking me thru a couple of games? RE: New player looking for a 'mentor' - Greybeard - 08-30-2007 Hello Mark, I think I can fit you in.. some of my opponents are away for a time.. current version of WinWW2 is v2.5.. lets keep the games small.. we can try to allow enough points for a battalion sized battle - I usually like them much bigger than that.. I can probably manage 1 turn every 2 days.. although I try an put a priority for new recruits :) Have you played much SP at all? - know this will make a good starting point to bring you up to speed.

RE: New player looking for a 'mentor' - MarkR - 09-11-2007 Krec, 'Greybeard' is showing me the ropes on SPWW2 right now, perhaps after? MarkR
