How do I start up a clan match?
Playing a clan match is very simple. The host of the match needs to indicate that this is a clan match by selecting the “Clan game” option on the RULES tab. The “CLANS” tab is initially invisible for all players until the host selects the "Clan Game" option on the "RULES" tab. Once this occurs, the "CLANS" tab becomes visible for all players. Players can then enter their Clan Tag in the appropriate edit box.

All participants in a clan game need to go to the CLANS tab and enter the Clan Tag for the clan that their nickname is a member of. If all players enter a valid Clan Tag (where valid means a Clan Tag associated with their nickname on the Clanwars site) and meet the aforementioned criteria, then match results are reflected on the the Clanwars BFME2 gaming league site.

As other players enter their Clan Tag, their name and clan selection appears in the player list on the “CLANS” tab. The Team column is disabled and is automatically filled in by the game based on Clan Tag settings. You will see the team number change to 1 or 2 as players enter their Clan Tags. Clicking on the Clanwars logo graphic minimizes the game, opens the default web browser, and takes the player to the ClanWars BFME2 gaming league page where they can check their own records as well as the records and previous matches of their opponents.

Additionally, to guard against race conditions, the game may raise an error dialog box when the host hits the “PLAY GAME” button.

AI may not participate in clan matches. The AI army options do not appear in the Player column drop downs.

There are no addition messages or statistics presented to the user, either before, during, or after the match.
