Playing turns

THE TURN BASED GAME SYSTEM

Each player issues orders for his troops and then sends the orders to the central game server. Once both players orders are received for a game, the turn is processed and turn results are available for each player to continue with the next turn.

FINDING OPPONENTS

You use the 'find any available opponent' option in the New Online Game Screen, or you can use the web interface. The web interface provides easier ways to find opponents, such as the 'open challenge' system. Also, you can click on a player name in the league tables to issue either a league or friendly challenge.

RECEIVING TURNS AND LAUNCHING A GAME

There are two ways to play your game turns – via the LSN web interface or through your email account. Initially, turn results will be sent to your email account until you deactivate this using an option in the web interface. If you are using email to receive turns, you will see a game challenge in your regular mail inbox with a subject like this:

Laser Squad Nemesis, game-212 challenge, vs Fred

Open the mail attachment and the Laser Squad Nemesis software will be launched. You will can then choose and race and deploy your forces. When you hit the ‘end turn’ button your deployment instructions will be sent to the game server, and the Laser Squad Nemesis software will shut down.

MULTIPLE GAMES

You can play many games of Laser Squad Nemesis simultaneously with different players. It is easy to manage your games with the web interface, and you can use the replay facility to review what has happened in each game if there has been a long gap since the previous turn.

CHANGING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

You can change the email address you want turns delievered to by entering a new email address in the main screen, and then playing a turn or starting a game. The new email address is then registered in our database.

DISABLING EMAIL TURNS

The web interface is generally easier to use for getting your turn results and you may want to turn off the email delivery. You can do this by clicking on the EMAIL OPTION link in the web interface.
