Create Targetware Account
Creating a Targetware account is simple and free.
A Targetware account enables you to:
- Play the Open Beta online
- Post on the Targetware Forums
- Post in this Wiki
- Create and Manage Squadrons
- Download and Install Mods automatically, through the Targetware engine
- Sign up for (or opt out of) email notifications of Targetware News, Squad Invites, Availability of Updates, etc.
Upon the conclusion of the Open Beta, you will be invited to activate your Targetware account to continue playing online.
An active Targetware account will allow you unlimited online access to all games based on the Targetware engine. This includes the existing sims: Target Korea, Target Rabaul, Target Flanders and any future mods. In addition, your subscription will allow you to host your own Massively Multi-Player (MMP) game server using any Targetware game pack.
Without an active account you will not be able to participate in any online games. You will still be able to take part in the forums and wkiki and download the Targetware engine and mods to practice offline.
In the meantime, everyone is welcome to play online free of charge for the duration of the Open Beta.
No payment information will be asked for or collected until the end of the Open Beta.
