Opponent sought for game

Post by SGT Swanson »

Will play either side.

CHS 2d w/ Extended map and Nik mod Game version: 1.802

Scen. 157 (w/o Soviet Fleet)
Scen. 158 (w/ Soviet Fleet)

House Rules:

PDUs: ON
1st Turn Surprise: ON
Historical 1st Turn: Can be discussed
Auto Sub Ops: OFF
Reinforcements: Can be discussed (I normaly use "Historical" but will play with "Variable" for a change of pace)

No Disbanding of Air in USA or HI to boost Pilot Pools (Allied advantage)
No invasion of Russia to turn off Manchuria Garrison requiremnets
No more than 6 ships in a ASW TF
No Allied 4E bombers below 5000' on Naval attack (their too effective still, even with the Nik mod)
No spliting of LCUs in combat (same hex as enemy)
No partial unit moes to cut off retreat paths (game engine bug)

Spending PPs to move units to palces not historically done is fine.

On a planning level we can allow the Japs to plan the 1st turn as they see fit for a "Bar room brawl" type of game using the above house rules.

I can do 1 turn a day, plus more on the weekends (except this coming one, going away till Sunday night).

Looking for someone to play a good game while not taking advantage of game engine deficeincies. I don't consider unusual tactics to be gamey. Taking advantage of known issues with the engine IS considered as gamey.

Are you still looking for an opponent? I'd play the allies against you considering that you're looking for a tough game. I've sent you my email.

Sorry, but someone else beat you to it.  4 games are enough for me right now.
 
Good luck in finding a game.

What are your requirements for turns/week? I have been interested in a PBEM but I would have erratic turn-arounds due to work and school commitments. Also, if you are looking for a challenge, I probably am not your guy as I have never done a PBEM before except for Battleground Gettysburg sometime back.

Experience doesn't bother me.  You can ask questions, and I'll do my best to help you have a better gaming experience.
 
If you can squeeze in at least 3 turns a week, that would be great.  I understand wanting to finish school.  And that should come first.

This game is still open. I don't have the free time to teach myself the Jap side having never played them before.
