  1. All games will be AREA rated and the ladder standings will be based on the AREA rating.
  2. Players can have as many ladder games going at one time as they wish.
  3. Note that since we are using AREA ratings, you can improve your rating by defeating a player of lower rating.
  4. If you want to challenge a specific player,  email me with your challenge. This is just to avoid putting peoples email addresses on this site.  If you just want to play any player, you have three choices:
    • Post a request on the GCACW forum on Consimworld
    • Post a request on the GCACW mailing list.  You can sign up for this at the GCACW Web Site
    • Send a request to me.  I'll post it on one of these for you.
  5. It is recommended that players use one of the dice rollers available on the internet.  My experience is that returns from these are very quick so should not cause undo delay.  Players are of course free to trust their opponent to roll dice or use the dice rollers built into Aide-de-Camp (ADC), VASSAL or CyberBoard PBEM assist programs.
  6. It is recommended that ADC, VASSAL or CyberBoard to play these PBEM games.  Since most of the games are no longer available for purchase, this is the only way some players will be able to play.  (Hint to new players: Check out using ADC, VASSAL or CyberBoard if you do not have a copy of it but want to play it.)  You will still need to find the rules somewhere though. 
  7. Players are free to decide on which scenario or campaign game they want to play.  Bidding for sides can be used.
  8. Move response time.  Players need to discuss this before accepting a challenge.  Some players only want fast games while others do not have the time for this.  Better to iron this out before you get started.  Let me know if during a game the response time gets excessive and we will see if we can work something out.
  9. After having two rated games versus the same opponent, you will be limited to a maximum of 1/3 of your ladder rated games versus one opponent.  The ladder is provided to help players find opponents so it should not be a problem finding many players to challenge.
