I'm currently having such a dismal service record in my PBEM games.
Anyway, it's all fun and learning along the way. Game on! :smg:
Jason,
Take it a little easy on yourself, first off. I took a look at your record, and it's not that bad for a guy with less than 20 games under your belt. You've been playing some pretty good players as well, which means you're going to take your lumps for a while. The key is to engage those guys while your playing. Ask them questions, especially on things that you feel you may have done incorrectly.
Post questions here on the boards, engage in strategy talk. There are a lot of guys out here who enjoy talking about this stuff.
I'd also encourage you to play the AI as well. Use it to hone your skills to minimize your 'new player' mistakes.
We all started out on the shallow end of the learning curve and struggled to find our way forward. Keep playing, you'll improve. Just don't get discouraged. I put Vietnam on the shelf for over a year before picking it back up I was so frustrated with how I played. You'll get there.
