I'm tentatively looking for an "beginner" allied opponent as in I have played for one year now in my previous PBEM as the Japanese and count myself also as a beginner. I want to play as the Japanese again so no overwhelming expert opponents wanted

I'm still thinking over if I have the time and energy to put as much effort in a starting game as the last time so that's the reason for the tentativeness.
My usual play rhythm was normally 1 turn per day but also up to 3-4 when it was ok to my opponent in the previous game.
