What type of pace are you looking for, how many turns per day/week?

[Blackwatch_it]

I would add the following to the options proposed by my co commander:
No 2 engines upgrade ti 4 engines
Air or ground units belonging to the Kwangtung command may not leave Manchuria unless PP's are spent to change their command.
Air or ground units belonging to China Command may not leave China or Manchuria, unless they change command.
I like fast paced games, at least 1 turn day on my opinion

I might be interested in such a format, I have been playing a PBEM as Japan for 18mos. I would want to negotiate a bit on some of the house rules:
ASW task forces of 6 ships, not 5.
No Corasairs on US CVs until Feb 1 44
No invasions of non beach hexes
Rules regarding pilot training?
Limits to 1st turn port attacks or invasions?

[cverbrug]

1 turn a day can be the desired pace, but this is practically not to relaize with shared command games. I guess we should take the pace as it comes, and do our best to proceed as soon as we realistically can. In practise , it think we cant do more then 2-3 turns a week. max...
Don't forget the shared commands will have to exchange emails, take command decisions..etc.
 
I have a job during day hours, so i can only play in the evening.

I remain interested, this pace 2-4 wk works well. Please let me know, as I am considering starting a new game as Japan and want to inform those who have responded to my request.

[Blackwatch_it]

i have no big problems with your suggestions of rules Jutland, besides for the invasion on non beach hexes. I think that invasions should be allowed on any coast hex.
Of course the one turn day idea is not mandatory, but I think that it can be done when the teams reach a general sharing of the strategy.

[Blackwatch_it]

It lloks like we need just one more japanese player...

[Jutland13]

I prefer going solo as Japan. I really only have time to take on this or one other game and cannot dedicate hours of emails debating strategy and resource allocation. I admire what you are trying to do, but thought I should bring this to your attention. I have no obvious partner, so coordinating with an unknown partner in a game this complex would be too timely (My wife, two boys and job will not allow for it). Let me know if this is not acceptable, no hard feelings on my part. Thanks.

I am happy with a 2 vs 1 game.

If Louis (Blackwatch_it) agrees , then i suggest you start up the game as the japanese (scenario 15) and let us know the first move.
My email is: cverbrug@telenet.be.
I will take command of commonwealth forces and china (with the exeption of australia), Louis will take command of US, and Phillipines etc
Louis, can you give your email as well? (We should also agree on one password-i will send you a private message).


I double checked the proposed settings, maybe 'vary setup: on' is not such a good idea. If you prefer it to off, please do as you like.
I agree with Louis we should be able to invade beaches hexes...

Mail sequence of the turn should best be Jutland --> Blackwatch --> Gallo ... and then back to Jutland.


Let's enjoy the game
