I am a retired gentleman with a few games going who would like to play a little more against people. There seems to be a pattern where the player who loses does not want to play again. I have played several games that I lost and did not want to play again. I have won against several players and they did not want to play again. There are a few like Dawgoneit who love to play and will not quit playing you. What I would like to try is sort of an automatic bid improvement for the losing player. For example: I lose a G41 with no bid then if we play again same sides then I get a 10 or 20 bid sort of depending on how bad I got beat. I win at 20 we go to 10. I win at 10 we go to no bid.
If you want to play without the bid improvement just let me know and we can do it the more common way.
Where / How to PBEM?

Hi all, I am a long time 1984 player new to these boards. I finally broke down and bought AA42 and love it.
Looking to PBEM, but have not the first clue how this works or how to find players. My grandfather was a big play by mail (actual mail) chess player and I like the idea of playing more often than my usual local gang can get together.
A few questions:
-
I am wondering if most people play 1v1 or get together for full five player games.
-
Do people set up boards at their own homes, or use online software?
-
How are dice rolls handled? I’ve looked around a bit and see you use rollers on these forums

Thanks in advance!

Hey murdoc
I have sent you a personal message(you will notice it in my messages)
Go there & will shall chat
I’m also fairly new to this site,but i shall do my best to set you up.
I think most games are 1v1 but you can play with more if opponents are willing.
You can play with a board set up at home(though it is much easier with Abattlemap installed)
The dice can be practiced in (find players & discussions, There is a post saying Dice roller Practice there)
Again we can discus more in our personal messages
