What is LGGWG?

Little Green Guys With Guns is a play-by-web/play-by-email strategy game.

To play, you issue (or accept) a challenge to other players. When all players in your challenge are ready, the game starts.

Each turn:

• You will get a turn file (a .tak) in your email, as well as available on the web.
  
• Open that file with the LGGWG client.
  
• Issue Orders to your units, which tell them what to do in the upcoming turn.

Giving orders.

• When all players have issued their orders, the Servinator processes the turn and sends out a new move.
  
• This continues until all but one team is dead, or the game has gone on for 20 turns.

That’s it! It’s a game that’s easy to play on your schedule, yet connects you with wargamers around the world.

• Catching them in a chain-reaction explosion you caused.

You can see your current score by checking the “Stats” panel.

In some games, there are checkered flags. Checkered flags are bonus points that add to your score.
