"In the shadow of the hill" round 1!

[raz_atoth]

I don't seem to understand what I'm supposed to do.

1. I created a new folder named "thephlapbadhu" in my dropbox.

2. I used the blitz.org email facility to send an email to thephlapbadhu asking him for an email address so I can invite him to share that folder. He has not yet replied to my email.

3. I thought I would receive a set up file for the prepared game in which I would set my password for the Allied attacker and place that file in the dropbox we share. That file would have a name ending in 001, and I'd change its name to something meaningful to me and my opponent but still ending with 001. CMBN will automatically increment that number and place the resulting file in its outgoing email folder for my opponent to place in our shared dropbox.

4. Although Dropbox would alert my opponent of the 001 file being in the Dropbox, I would send him an email letting him know the 001 file is ready with some comments about the impending battle.

The instructions describe setting up a new Quick Battle. As we're to play an existing scenario, I expected to be directed to a set up file.

Actually,you're the allied player so it's you who should start the game :)
Basically,the workflow is this:
1)you start the game and save the first turn. A scenario is started the same way as a QB,you just choose the 'Battle' menu instead of 'Quick Battle'.
2)you obtain your opponent's email address
3)you create the dropbox shared folder and send your opponent an invitation to share that folder
4)you copy your file to the shared folder

If everything went smooth,at this point your opponent should have your file and what's left to be done is for you to wait his next turn.
