| So
- I had a try at playing this VGAP4 game by myself - and found it really tricky to
work out how to do it. I later learned of Admiral Quixote's and
Admiral Panzer's excellent pdf file at http://www.solport.com/vgap4/quarters/How%20to%20start%20playing.pdf which the first page is based on - but I wanted to add some guiding pictures too? There is also a load of info at http://www.furfur.demon.co.uk/geop/v4startup.htm but I found it a bit too much to start with. Eventually I gave up trying to play this thing - I got too frustrated !! - and resolved to produce this "Complete Idiot Newbie's" guide as a "Quickstart Guide". I decided I should write it as a "Newbie", myself, to help other Newbies as I started learning? Paul Honigmann (aka Kingon Kommand) volunteered to play a three turn game against himself under rigourous rules (to make it reproducable) and to document it in such a way that I could play the same scenario... and while doing so - I would create this guide - as I went along. That is what we have done - he did most of the game play and text - and I then played it (repeatedly! 8) )- and did the html/piccies etc. Enough chat! these are the chapters If you have any comments or criticisms - anything!

I would really like to get this guide translated into as many languages as possible - ON this site preferably. To this end I have created a Text only transcript here. If you can get a team of people together to translate it - I will post it and do all the html/graphics changes required...
