[Noob PBEM question]

So far my French boys are sweeping all before them! Mind you seeing as the opposition has been a crew who seemed to have misplaced their vehicle that's not saying much. I'm assuming that I'm encountering a recon screen, rather than proper opposition. The presence of the crew presumably means Corvidae has decided at least one of his vehicles is no help on this map? Just at the end of the last turn a couple of artillery shells landed, so I'm a little worried about a nice HE surprise coming my way...

I hear Engines, Possibly tanks, coming through the trees.

but no contact yet.

It just occurred to me to ask this, but does this mean you're getting sound contacts on my mysterious engined machines? If so, does that mean your boys pick them up from all the way across the map??

I did read the manual, and I think I've found routes so far. I just saw something looking like a tent frame of barbed wire belonging to you, guess I'll avoid that.

It's a whole *hoard* of tanks, but they keep hitting the tree trunks...

Another free programme would be Scribus (for Linux).

Scribus is good, I use it for publicity for the charity I work for, and it runs on Windows too, but it might be overkill for what Mike's doing here.

A pdf would be great! Is there and way that I can build one without having to pay (if I remember it was kind of expensive) for Acrobat? I will be researching this today, as I have no experience with building a .pdf.

Mike,

If you download OpenOffice (free, open-source office suite) it has word filters and PDF export built in. I've just emailed you a PDF of your book created in this manner so you can see the results.

Cheers.

OK Corvidae, I *think* I've just sent you a turn using PBEM helper. Let me know if I've done it wrong though please!

Feel free to send a PBEM turn to me at

600 points is usualy a good size map with enough units to make things interesting

Corvidae,

Thanks for the offer, I'd love to take you up on that, but is there a particular scenario I should use?

TheBlackHand, thanks, I'll definitely give blitzkreig a look.

Cheers.

[Noob PBEM question]

Thank you all for the help, I'll dive in to one of those.

Hi All,

I'm noob and a little confused: where's the best place to find someone to PBEM with, preferably someone who'll be nice to a noob rather than just kicking my butt and laughing?

Thanks.
