Yup! I'm the friend. I have heard about team games but don't remember the particulars. PBEM---how does the turn rotation work and all that???

RE: how do teamgames work????
I've never actually played a team game so i may have some of this wrong but from what i've been told it's like this.

I think that the players split into two groups, each player then agrees on what they will command e.g. one may command infantry whilst the other controls the armour. Then they agree on how many points each will spend and on what units, assuming it's a QB, and then one player purchases the units on the buying screen for both players.

Game turns work by each team member taking it in turns to move their units then 'saving' the file rather than clicking the 'end turn' button, and emailing it to the next member of their team, once the finale player on a team has moved the last of that teams units they click the 'end turn' button and send it to the other side who then follow a similar routine.

It involves a lot more work than a two player game and needs dedicated players who are quick with file turn around other wise games take forever. But you have the fun of talking tactics with your team mates and working out a plan, then you have to hope they actually understood the plan and follow it and don't do their own thing leaving you in the lurch.

Hope i got that right and it made sense.....haven't had a mug of coffee yet. Big Grin

cheers

When it is your turn to plot the moves the first team mate moves his units then hit the "save" button, not the "Go" button. Then email the saved turn (in the "saved games" folder) to your team mate. He will finish the move turn and then hit "Go". Then he sends that turn on to the opponent.
