I always have wanted to try Titan, and I did study the rules when the reprint came out. I never did get the game though, at the time I didn't have a group for it and teaching the rules seemed a pain not understanding them myself.

If one day you feel like doing newbie friendly pbem I'd like to give it a shot.

Im bidding on an AH edition on ebay atm. If i can land a copy at a reasonable price i might be interested in a PBEM game.

Duke, I don't think even the vendor would mind you playing a PBEM game with us. We've all got copies, and it's a 6p game. I think Dair learned from this crowd and now he's killing us all with mind bullets.

Give yourself more credit than that Jeb. I played Titan for the first time in the mid 90s. I have definitely played more in the last year than all those years before combined, thanks to Fatties and the iPad. New players will likely be housed by old players, but that will change with a game or two. After you play and have a feeling for the rules, you can check out the Strategy section on BGG. There are some good discussions there.

It would be tough to learn Titan directly from the rules. I never had to do that, so I don't know how hard it actually is. Mikko, DoC, if you read the rules and want to PBEM, I'll be happy to do a hand-holding game on Acts.

This game really intrigues me. I've never had the chance to try it. I'll probably grab the iPad version if it ever gets asynchronous play.

You'll be waiting a long time then, I suspect. Asynch play of Titan (or any other six-hour game) on an iPad would be slightly less painful that pulling teeth. You'd be better off grabbing a seat on one of our PBEM games.

It looks to me like we've got enough interest for a teaching PBEM game. If you want in, get yourself an account at acts.warhorsesim.com/ - it has a auto-moderator that covers everything, even board position. Then Dair or I can get one set up.

There may even be enough players now for a tournament or ladder. Take a long while to work through though.

I'm interested in a pbem learning game as well.

With talk of Titan taking a while with 4+ players, won't it take _forever_ to do this waiting for each other via email?

It'll take a couple of months, probably. But that's okay when you're playing via email.

I JUST got the results from a local trade, and I got a VG copy of Titan. I'm pretty excited, and a little intimidated.

Ok, I've created an ACTS account (JeffWhite), but the game won't get here for a few days for me to read the rules.

When do y'all want to start?
