Noob looking for a game & advice

arclight · 01-30-2011, 01:27 PM,

Hi sorry about my noobness, but I have looked at the site for instructions and come-up with none(?). I do not understand
a) how to get on a ladder
b) how the process of having a game works - is it all PBEM?

I have a copy of World in Flames -
c) does this mean I cannot play with people with the new version of the game?

I'd be very grateful for a 'noddy's outing' to how to start playing.
Thanks

Hey CW,

Look under header HQ-Command & go to rules of engagement.

Yes this is great place to find PBEM opponents.

Most folks have updated to JTCS version of CS. Their might be a few who still have both loaded. If not, you should consider getting the JTCS version as the 2 are not compatible and the JTCS has many new updates.

Good luck.

Welcome to the Blitz!

First, as mentioned, read the Rules of Engagement.

Second, notice the box in the upper right of your browser. It should say "Welcome cwhouston" if you're logged in. Otherwise it will say "Guest". If "Guest", then login.

Under your name and the current time is a link for your control panel. Click that. You'll see six main level options on that page and you should explore all of them. You'll find areas for uploading files and picture, for changing your email, username, password, etc; and at the bottom a link that says "Blitz".

Click the Blitz link then General Options on the popout and the first section displays the ladders that you'd like to be on. After choosing, make sure you click on the "Update Options" button at the bottom of that page.

Further help on any control panel subject can be found by clicking the "Help" button in the same upper right box where your login is.

Don't hesitate to ask anyone on the CS ladder to give you a hand.

The fun of wargaming is PBEM, but there's nothing against being a member of the Blitz and not participating in that arena. I'd recommend picking up a copy of JTCS at matrixgames.com and asking a member here to give you a get-out-of-bootcamp game. Many veteran players will agree to give you a draw while they teach you the ropes, or you can find another new player and let the chips fall.

Again, welcome to the Blitz!

Arclight,

If you have a daughter 18-35 keep her far away from the Australian sex fiend
Mr. Rossokolski.:eek1:

Such a charmer that Rod fellow!;)

Back to business Arclight if you want a game we can play to a draw & I will give pointers or you might kick my a$$. Just let me know.

Dawg -
I've never refused an offer from a porn-star and don't expect to start now.

I'd be pleased for you to pick a (JTCS) EF scenario, and send it over.
