Well, my first question would be: Am I supposed to do anything? or just wait until you send me an email? I play all sorts of games online. But I've never once played a PBEM game of any sorts.

The email address you gave me isn't working.

I'd be all for the PBEM if you're ok with the fact that I'm as new as a newbie can possibly get. I was wanting to do an easier mission just so I don't get discouraged by getting dominated every time I try, heh.

I'm a complete and total newbie to war gaming. The closest I've ever gotten to anything involving tanks and soldiers would be Command and Conquer. I'm not *COMPLETELY* clueless on units, but just about 90% clueless. I couldn't tell you the difference between a Sharman or a Cromwell. Yeah, either way, I've decided I'm going to try hard to get into CMBO. I've already read the manual more than I've read any other manual to any other game. After finally successfully completing the tutorial, which took a while (Move tanks, boom, boom, 2 dead tanks, gg, I lose. Finally I learned to hold them back for a bit, heh.) I want to start on some of the other missions. But I don't want to just jump in head first and end up getting one of the hardest ones. So, what are the easier missions? (I have the special edition, if that makes any difference.) And while we're on the subject of newbie help, anyone have any tips? Any websites with tips? Anything at all? Oh yeah, and how do you know how much of your tank is showing? Is there an actual way to see it for sure? Or is it all a guess judged by dropping the view down to the ground?
