<t> Looks like my current game is done so it's time to start over.<br/>
<br/>
I normally play Japan but wouldn't mind trying the Allies. Don't really care about house rules, but hoping to find a historical minded player who wouldn't abuse the system to require the HRs in the first place. My only ...

<t> I haven’t played in several years and am looking to get back in with a non gamey mostly historical game. Map or scenario doesn’t really matter, though as the Japanese player I’d naturally prefer a scenario 2 type game. DBB is great too, though I don’t know the latest and greatest mods ...

<t> I'm returning to the game after a couple of years away and ready for a pbem. I'm a middle of the pack player looking for a gentlemans game. A mod may be ok, but I'm more comfortable with vanilla. Latest beta. Grand Campaign. 2 day turns a must. Can commit to 4 turns a week, hopefully more ...

<t> We are in June of 42 of BigBabes C and my excellent opponent has resigned. And I think it was my fault; with my schedule I should be playing the AI. While my goal is a slow 3 turns a week, sometimes I can go a week without any free time but I can communicate the delay. <br/>

The Allied ...

I have a Japanese Dec 7th start ready to go. This is Dababes scenario C so the allies should have me beat by mid 42.

Anybody?

<t> Two false starts so far but hoping that the third time will be lucky. <br/>

I really hoped that FOW was the explantion and others would report similar factory sizes. After checking the industry mouseovers on a bunch of previous turns, I now doubt FOW is the ...

<t> PBEM. Scenario 2. PDU on.<br/>
<br/>
And I think there lies the problem - PDU on and Scenario 2 gives Japan enough advantages that I guess this is what I should expect.<br/>
<br/>
And this thread isn't a whine - I'm really looking for ideas on how to beat this strategy. <br/>

<t> We’re in Oct 42 in my scenario 2 game as the Allies and when I happened to mouse over the Home Islands last turn what I saw shocked me. Not only could I see his factories, but the sizes were amazing. <br/>

<t> I thought I'd give the Allies a try for once; my other PBEM as Japan is on break for the summer.<br/>

I'm an intermediate player which I define as knowing most of the rules and able to execute large coordinated operations (some of the time). <br/>

<t> I am looking for someone to take the Allied side in scenario 1. I expect/hope to be able to complete 4-5 turns a week and would like 2 day turns to keep the game moving. I have some experience with witp, but am no genius and prefer a historical style with no gamey moves. I started working on a ...

I blame this forum for my poor start! All the talk of the zero bonus, coordination rules, uber cap, only allied strategy is to hide till '43... etc led me to ...

<t> I started a game as Japan in 1.795 and most of my ship captains were eaten before I executed the first turn. I think this may have been mentioned, but the get pilot button gives free, very experienced, pilots without subtracting them from the pool. Which I actually think is a very nice feature ...

<r> position filled. Thanks.<br/>

for a slow game with 2 day turns, otherwise things will go nowhere. Probably 2-3 turns a week with potentially more on weekends. Slower in summer. <br/>

So for an HQ unit, high agressiveness wouldn't do much, but high admin would raise the assault points in the hex the unit is preparing for??

What about Naval HQs - what is the value of them planning for a hex? If I remember correctly they help ships repair faster.

1. I don't fully understand the benefits of leaders - as Japan, Southern Area Army HQ in Saigon - the guy in charge now sucks. Does it matter? What is the difference between an assault leader and a front line leader?<br/>

Been intensively playing the AI for a few weeks now and ready to start against a real person in scenario 15.

Willing to negotiate options and house rules.
