Opponent Wanted

[Capt]

I'm an experienced but not expert player looking for a reliable opponet for the long campaign. Have never played Japan but could give it a try. Prefer Allies because they are easier.

Looking for 1 or more turns a day. This game could take over a year real time.

Most everything negotiable.

Capt - I am game! I currently have two games going as the Japanese so need to be the Allies in this game. Can't commit to a turn a day but am good for 4 - 5 a week. What in house rules do you propose?

[tocaff]

Here is a very good opponent who has handily beaten me in UV and WITP, more than a few times. A better opponent is hard to find. If I didn't have a full plate I'd take up this gauntlet.

[Capt]

How about these?

The deleted ones called for mods to the scenario.


1 China No more than 2 independent Field (or Seige) Artillery units per division, per hex, may voluntarily be used in combat
2 First Turn "surprise" on/off On
3 First Turn "Historical", limits on first turn activities if "Historical" is turned off Off … Allies can do two things only - change orders for TF at sea - change base construction orders

No additional reinforcements can be sent from USA to CBI from the West Coast, unless Japanese lands an LCU on Ceylon or India. additional engineer class units can be sent to India from 1/44 and additional US Army air units also
15 Limits on use of Allied non-Chinese units in China The only non-Chinese Allied units that may be used in China are USA units.
16 Limits on use of lots of small TFs in small area of map Nuff, said

20 Limits on airfield capacity 50 x base size is good or 50 x base size plus 10 % but doesnt count toward a/c transfers

Someone who handily beats tocaff? Why do I feel like I am getting led to the slaughter by someone posing as a recruit?

[tocaff]

Maybe I'm not that good. [&:]

[Capt]

Todd was just being kind. The games have split about evenly with one side or the other winning because of a lucky naval air battle or two. We played down to the bitter end once with the Japanese cities in flames but it wasn't any fun.

[tocaff]

Yeah that game as the Japanese cured me of playing that side for a very long time. Once the KB is gone it's pretty much looking for a spot of try to sting rather than accomplish anything of consequence. Steve, in my current game, has been a master at stinging and delaying and sometimes outright bashing me.

Complete newby to the game but willing to give it a go. (I'm already bored with the AI, so am willing to get kicked around in order to learn the game faster.) Can you send me a PM and we can discuss?
