New player looking for a 'mentor'

Anyone out there willing to walk me thru an email game of SPWAW? I've played other email wargames, would like to give this one a try.

Hello Mark,

What version of SPWAW? - you might want to consider downloading another couple of freebies.. WinWW2 and WinMBT available at www.shrapnelgames.com.

These are also Steel Panthers games, and unless I'm incorrect, they are the most popular ones here at the blitz..

IMHO, they are better for PBEM balance than SPWAW - (sorry Vesku) Big Grin

However all of the games a great fun..

Welcome to the 'Blitz'

Go with what Steve said, the DOS versions will give you headaches.

I will have to bow to the inevitable, WW2 and MBT are the most popular here so you might want to try them. It's so much easier to find opponent for them than SPWAW. I still don't admit that they are better :)

Okay, I'm downloading SPWW2 as I type this. Anyone interested in walking me thru a couple of games?

Hello Mark,

I think I can fit you in.. some of my opponents are away for a time.. current version of WinWW2 is v2.5.. lets keep the games small.. we can try to allow enough points for a battalion sized battle - I usually like them much bigger than that.. I can probably manage 1 turn every 2 days.. although I try an put a priority for new recruits :)

Have you played much SP at all? - know this will make a good starting point to bring you up to speed.
