Playing by E-mail?

[MrKevlar11]

I was wondering, since most of my family doesn't play this game, I heard u could play by E-mail or on these forums. I just don't get how its possilbe with dice rolling and other thing. Could someone explain so I can start playing? by the way, I'm a student so i could only play Fridays and Saturdays and night time on some days if anyone is interested. By the way, I'm Kevin and I am new to this game so any help is appreciative! Thanks!

This web site takes care of all the rolling for both the sides:

http://dicey.net/login.html

You simply plug in your e-mail address and your opponents.  Next, you plug in the territory you're attacking, your units and your opponent's units.  Then, Dicey rolls for you and e-mails the results for each round to both you and your opponent -- simultaneously.  You way to cheat.

You will also need to download MapView and the A&A module for it.

Here is the link for MapView:

This is the A&A module for MapView (which you will need too):

This should get you started!

Thanks a lot, i do not know how to use map view, do i have to register it to play? can i play against computer too? how do i use it. Thank-You!

No ... you don't have to register -- just download it and play.  You can't play against the computer -- only other people.  I suggest that you download everything first and then review everything.  After that, ask what questions you still have.

Don't forget about the premier PBEM clubs: AAMC and IAAPA.  AAMC is free and IAAPA charges a minimal fee.  Both clubs have their own dice rollers (AAMC's is provided above) and very experienced players.  If you are interested in finding out how you rank against good PBEM A&A players, I would recommend checking out these clubs.  The good thing about these clubs is that you can play against an opponent of any desired skill level.
