I need some help! I'm now 0 for 3. Not a good way to start - though I am having fun.

Despite the rank, I tend to win big and then self-destruct most of it back (it seems); some heartbreakers I should've won.

Thanks for any invites, if eligible. :)


PM sent please read it and all the stickies in your classroom.

After we get you going in your first classroom I will add you to the team game classroom. Once you have some games set up and feel comfortable in how to post remind me by PM and I'll get you started in team games as well.

PM on the way read it and all the stickies in your classroom. You will need to finish 5 games here at CC before you can join terminator games. Follow along in other classroom games till you can post your own.

Hello :)

I'm not a member of the Society, but I have read many of the tutorials, and advice that has been given publicly, and I have put them to apparent good use.

You see, 3 weeks ago, when I decided to give this forum a good read, I was a cook.

Hello there,

I'm getting myself into trouble with feudal war. I really like the game but can't seem to figure out a winning strategy. I'd really like to discuss each move and learn where I'm going wrong.
I seem to do the best on 5 or 6 player world 2.1 and 3 way smaller maps like great lakes, Europe 1914, Charleston, etc. I'd be happy to share what I know about those games.

I've already played my first 5 games so I'm ready to report for duty. ;)

Thx,
MrGato

We teach basic strategy and map reading on the classic maps. We use terminator settings so students do not have to out right win any game to raise in points each game. By using only set maps it allows our teachers to uniformly teach at random any game that is ready when they log on. So in other words you may 6 or 8 different teachers in any one game but what and how they teach will all be the same. If we were to teach every map and setting we could not handle the hundreds of games and students that we can easy do now. But you will find that the skills you learn from what we teach transcends to other maps and game settings as well. If you would like to run threw the course we would be happy to have you.

Is this still available? I've wargamed in the past (Avalon Hill, etc) but this is different! I'd like some training in this genre and I have some questions that may be holding me back. This training program will most likely help.

Hi.....I'm not new to the site, but it seems that I can't get past this rank. I have been here or lower for the entire time I have been on CC. Is is possible that I can join, get help, see tutorials, to improve my game?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. If I am "out of line" here, please let me know.
Hoping you guys can help me improve my game.
Thanks
Only game I a really good at is USA, singles, but would be more than willing to help anyone out with that, if you like.

Hi,

I started playing some time ago, but took a long break. I'm back now - I'd forgotten how much fun it was.

I'm definitely in need of improvement, and I'd like to sign up for training.

Cheers!

This will be a bit different than the games and settings you mostly played in the past. But it will teach you a great deal.

Like others, I've played a few games now, but can't quite get the hang of winning consistently. I would really appreciate some training.

Hi,

New student here, really love what I've seen so far. Have played 5 or 6 games thus far, have not come close to winning any, lol. I'm kind of amazed actually at how quickly I lose, it' s like my opponents have ninja dice.
