How does this work?

[Mr Grumpy]

Hello Rich,
Welcome to the OpC ladder!

You have taken the first step to the excellent world of PBEM by posting your desire to play a human opponent, you have listed the titles you have but you might want to indicate the size of the scenario you wish to play, as you are just starting out i would suggest you play a small scenario of no more that 20 turns.

Also you might want to stick to the default optional rules if you are not 100% sure of which ones to use and make sure you have the most up to date patch.

Have fun! ;)
