How to start a PBEM game?

[soldier99]

Hi,
Sorry for a probably stupid question but how do I start a PBEM game with Panzer Corps? There is a Multiplayer menu but I am unable to figure out how to start a PBEM game?
Thanks

You just need to accept (or issue) a challenge

I've played the game a couple of years but I've never played a panzer corps PBEM game. where do you post challenges?

Well, after you login to multiplayer you can go to the tabs Issue a Challenge or Accept a Challenge.

On the tab Issue a Challenge, you need to press the Issue Challenge button at the bottom left corner.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for posting this. A lot of the issued challenges are password protected which I'm thinking is because those people already know who they want to take the challenge. Correct?

Yes, they agree via PM here on the forum or via email (or any other means of communication) on what they want to play. One issues the challenge with password and informs the other who can then accept with the password (that he had been told)...

...but you can always just issue new challenges for others to accept, very easy... e.g. like 5 or 10 in row (I think there is a limit per day, don't remember the exact number but it's higher)... people will accept your challenge... you can choose what you want to play... including the settings

great. thanks so much. I've played all the scenarios multiple times so this should be fun.

Just fyi, there are also some additional (almost fully balanced) MP scenarios
