For those of us who struggle get a few hours free at a reasonable time; Play By E-Mail is a great way to get in a game of KoW.
You’ll need a paid UB2 subscription, an internet browser and some kind of online messaging that allows file attachments (not necessarily email, but that’ll work🙃).
UB2 allows games to be saved as a file (do allow your opponent to move your units) and it’s these files that get passed back and forth.
Along with the game’s chat history; especially dice rolls, but also other communication and declaring intent.
I also like to include a screenshot of the game, so that my opponent can have a look ahead of when they take their turn (I collect them for battle reports too).
Setup is easiest if both players can get on at the same time, but going back and forth (usually two units at a time) or blind deployment work too.
Post or look in this thread if you’re interested in a game.
If more ppl are looking for PBEM games, we got a facebook messenger chatgroup to arrange games. Send me a PM on messenger (Thomas Bandur Aleksandersen) and I’ll hook you up.
TLTR: Is there someone willing to teach KoW, to a totally beginner in the game, using UB2?
Hey guys,
First, @DarkBlack thanks for your explanation. I didn’t know that we had this PBEM option to play UB2.
The scenario here in of Wargaming is very weak, and the few that play focus in 40K and OPR. So I discovered KoW and I’m now restless to try out, it just seems so fun. I have even printed two 750pts 10mm armies to convince friends but I had no opportunity yet.
I was wondering if anyone would have the patience to teach me not only UB2 but KoW as well. I already read the green book but of course I’ll have a lot to learn and probably (95% chance) I’ll provide a terrible game in result.
Let me know if that sounds fun to you.
Best Regards,
PS: I don’t have a UB2 subscription but if I find an opponent I’ll buy it so we may try PBEM.
You’re welcome, I’m glad the explanation helped somewhere.
I’m not sure how teaching by PBEM would work and I still have too much going on in real life for live games, sorry.
