dwayne, you should challenge Jim1954. He's a very pleasant fellow so you shouldn't mind getting crushed by him.:D

Hint: It's is also good to play people that aren't so good at PBEM because you learn just as much from seeing someone make a mistake as you do getting killed by someone who doesn't make mistakes. Newbies will often get crushed and will be left scratching their heads about what they could have done to win. Almost any game is winable, but if you don't see how it's done you don't learn as much. Newbies should also play newbies to see errors and get the learning and thrill of exploiting the errors of their opponents.

I just play everybody,:rolleyes: but RB is right play fellow new comers. Diffirent player have diffirent ways of getting results. I learn things from most games I play, weather I play some one fairly new or some of the old dogs around here.

P.S. Never play RB if you are the mid war UK and he the Germans, that game still gives me nightmares:mad: :o :(

Try to vary the type of terrain you play on as well.


In our game so far you don't seem to be doing to bad, there is just a few things about elevation you need to keep in mind ;)

I believe that was the game that I discovered the awesome power of SS Panzers in H2H (was it PzIVh's?). Those things should be illegal!:D

The last 5 games I've had at the German control have all been mid-war. I've come to absolutely love the PzIVh! :D Quite expensive, on par with the T-34 m43, but with a wicked fire control rating! :p Cool to see them strike home in 4-5 shots out of 6 at 20 some hexes...

It's just something very nice about a tank that's not unvincible in any way but still spells Death to whatever it lays sights upon. :cool: No, I'm not talking about the Easy8

I would say the PzIVh is my favorite tank. It's not over powerful. It's just good and it looks nice too. In the hands of someone who knows how to use it, look out! :)
