PBEM how to include multiple emails in CC

Ozymandiaswept

Hello -

just getting setup for the 1st time. My friends and I have been playing AA since the late 80s.

I confirmed that they have verified dice. I even got my first game started with one friend.

However, I cannot seem to get both in a game using the Dice field "To".
I separate their email address with a space but it turns red.

I have verified server with each of them but no dice (pun intended) when I try to add both.

Any help is very much appreciated,

One of the downsides of the new dice server was the reduction to only one mail-address in "To:" and one in "CC:".
So in case of more than two active players you need to choose two of you to receive the mails from the dice server.

Ahh i get it now.

I managed to find another thread under PBEM that mirrors what you just said.

Can I ask you a really dumb question - where do we assign nations to players?

I didn't see anything in game setup nor after the game load.

Much appreciated!

yea

no game topic/name id either

Edit
and the in game dice roller results aren't sent to your email anymore either

And it doesn't say what was fighting what. Just dice results instead of 2 Infantry attack 1 Artillery

Definitely a Downgrade

This is nothing to be done within the software. You agree who plays which power. And when it is for example Japan's turn the player who chose Japan does the turn for Japan.

Hi Ozzy

you only need to do that when playing in the lobby

Ahh gotchya - so it really is more like playing on a boardgame that everyone is sitting around except the only difference is PBEM. Guess old habits on 42 online AA where you each get a turn set in. Appreciate the timely clarification.

Ozymandiaswept

Did i get that right?

Ozymandiaswept

Example - if I play Russia and end the turn & not it's my friend, i'm not blocked from doing stuff as Germany but won't naturally as it's his turn versus AA online 1942 where it's restricted. Except in lobby where you have to assign a nation. While i'm at it and I swear i'll stop asking questions - any way to get full screen versus windowed view?

Yea so with play by forum you set up the 2 emails, register to dice server and game on.

At end of turn hit turn summary ctrla ctrlc and then save game. Post to your game thread or send a private email.

I'll dig up a example in a bit by Victory with detailed instructions

thank you both - i guess i have been trying to setup play by email. Is that harder to do versus by forum? I guess i'm still a bit unclear with PBEM. I don't assign a nation but we agree to it informally. So if I say I'm Russia I play my turn, hit done then Germany is up. So my friend plays but I can still move stuff around - is that working as designed or somehow I set it up incorrectly? Maybe I should try the forum route. Appreciate the openness. We started playing Axis and Allies in 1986 so that kinda dates me a bit.
