Team Game Kursk 1943

[King Ron]

Good day all -

Please forgive me, but i have not been able to find a tutorial on the actual process of playing a team/pbem scenario in campaign series. I have received the file and edited the order of battle to include the player names, and have been able to start the game and could make moves, but as far as working cooperatively I have some questions:

1) Do we all play a single game or do we have six games going at once?
2) If we Is there an order for receiving and sending files?
3) Do we have an overall side 'commander' issuing tactical orders or do we play independently.
4) Can we communicate externally with our 'team' members regarding strategy or are we restricted to 'in game' methods of coordination?

Thanks!
