Featuring "Two Weeks in Normandy", The TOAW III New Player Workshop will begin on July 8, 2006. Enrollment will be permitted through July 22nd to provide more players the opportunity to participate in the workshop who may still be in the process of getting the game, going on vacation, etc. We want to be flexible, but we also must have a cut off point. Our intention is for the workshop to be concluded by September 15 (8-9 weeks), a reasonable expectation for a 13 turn scenario.
The idea behind this workshop is to provide new players of The Operational Art of War an opportunity to accelerate their learning with the assistance of experienced players, and have some fun in the process. The workshop will be conducted in a team environment playing the "Two Weeks in Normandy" scenario. Each team will have a veteran player as a team leader and a number of experienced/veteran assistants. Their role will be to assist the new players on their team. Assistance will come through tips and advice in conjunction with reviewing turns - identifying and explaining things that you can do, or try, to improve your defensive or offensive operations. Another team of veteran players will provide oversight for both sides to provide additional support. Each team is likely to have their own dedicated forum in which to discuss strategy (working on it).
Players will have the choice between playing with the Allied or Axis Team. Players will also have the option to participate in mirror play - allowing them to play both sides of the scenario. This is an option for those who don't have time restraints. Players will be matched as closely as possible to other players able to play on the same schedule, i.e. - 1-2 turns per week, 3-5 turns per week, or 6+ turns per week.
To participate, players should either have, or expect to have, The Operational Art of War III along with the v3.0.0.14 public beta patch available from the Member's Section of <A HREF="http://www.matrixgames.com/members/" Target="_NEW">Matrix Games</A> by the July 22nd cut-off. Players will be advised if any other patches come out prior to, or during, the Workshop. To participate, it will be necessary to register with the Strategy Zone Online, if you do not already have a screen name. This is important for being able to participate in the forums.

Include in your message whether you consider yourself a new player, experienced player or veteran; whether you want to play as Axis, Allies, or either; and your anticipated rate of play as 1-2 turns per week, 3-5 turns per week, or 6+ turns per week.
