      Thank for any help. I've been playing this game solo for many months and long to actually play a person.

      And Mister Tasty Fish is the perfect Mark, ah I mean highly skilled competitor, for this slaughter, ah I mean well balance game of whits and skills.

      Those Nazi scum will PAY for taking Paris !

      PS. This is far more interesting than watching a bunch of rich kids on steroids get paid to play with a ball, moooohafahaha

              @beelee OK. Choosing Play by Email allowed me to open the saved game, purchase some units, play G1... then there were some final posting options but none of those worked presumably because I did not have it set up for real play?

                you do your turn them hit "View Turn Summary"

                Screenshot from 2025-11-25 17-38-45.png

                ctrl c

                You now have the turn summary copied.

                Now ctrl s and make a saved game. I usually state game, opponent, player turn

                Then post both to the game thread.

                Edit
                You can also use pbf but lets get you up and running with pbem first. 🙂

                  what happens if I miss copying the game summary text?

                  Is there instructions for how to do this? Am I supposed to be using play by email with Trout? I thought it was play by forum?

                  What is the point all this? What is contained in the game save file and what else do I need to provide?

                  I did a German turn 1 in this case. No combat and Hitler bought a carrier and two fighters.

                  If this was for real is this file I attached enough or do I have to do more? What would be the purpose of copying the game summary text?

                  THanks

                    The turn summary shows what happened during the turn. It's not required as it's also in History but almost all Forum/PBEM players use it.

                    It's in my post above. Let me know which specific step you had trouble with.

                    pbem and pbf are slightly different. They are interchangeable but I didn't want to throw too much information at you at once 🙂

                    I will check your save and we will do a few turns for you to get the hang of it 🙂

                      @beelee wait let's start over form the beginning. I just realized we both did a German turn 1 right?

                        And how does Trout and I move on and play that game?

                          OK

                          lets do a few test turns. Trout and you will just start a new one.

                          I'm gonna do a G1. Be 10 min maybe

                          So I need to know if you want to scramble to 110 or 111. What we do is post a screenshot of the scramble area for easy to see

                          Screenshot from 2025-11-25 18-35-55.png

                          and a saved game so you can see the entire combat moves as that can affect whether you want to scramble or not. You do this at the end of your NCM but before starting Combat phase

                              @johnnycat I meant - never on turn 1. In anticipation of us playing many more games ....
