I appreciate your assistance, I was in the process of writing a review for this game and assessing the multiplayer aspects was part of it. You can read what my take on the game here.

I appreciate your help and your suggestions on the dialog are exactly what I was thinking...they need to do some more hand-holding...

I was able to accomplish a few turns...this game needs to cut down on the trial and error...and you are right it goes smoothly afterwards...

The directions help re-inforce what I understood to be the process...and I was successful...however this email process is so confusing that the game designers need to provide much more detailed instructions and better signage in the game in regards to file naming and such.

I need someone to type out blow by blow directions on how to play PBEM with NCP. The game directions leave many holes and questions.
