Johnny Cat Tutorial

@JohnnyCat

so fire up triplea and hit "Play By Email"
We'll use PBEM in this example as that is how I do it, although it and PBF are interchangeable.

Enter your email and your opponents in the appropriate fields.

You also need to register for the Marti Dice roller. Hit Register to ... well register You only need to do this once, not every time you play.

It will take you here

Idk if a game name is necessary or not, I always use one just because but I think it is for PBF for the topic id. That's a pbf thing so we won't concern ourselves with it right now.

then start game and do your turn. You will notice it says "Dice Server On" bottom right. That means you're on and not in Local mode, which is an easy mistake to make, as you will want to do your test turn in Local before going for real.
Or most people do

When you're done with your turn hit "View Turn Summary"

ctrla ctrlc on the summary window and then save game. I usually go with the game and whoevers turn it was for the save name.
So EXP Game 1 Cat G 1 for example of Germanys first turn.

Paste the Turn Summary you copied and add the save to the game thread and you're good to go.

PBF eliminates some of the above steps and you can switch to PBF from PBEM at any time.

@VictoryFirst explained it all a while back. I'll dig it up and link it

Anyway, there ya have it

Hi cat

I looked at your save. One thing to remember, is that only certain units can be placed during the 1st place phase. The rest you place as would in oob in the 2nd place.

WaffenPioneer should be on the list, as well as the LendLease markers.
