Inexperienced Player looking for Allied opponent for RA 8.1

[kfmiller41]

Long time casual player who has AI experience. Am looking for another non hard core player[:D] to try Reluctant Admiral scenario. Am willing to japan and house rules are of course negotiable. Normally can do a turn a day, sometimes more on weekends and I'm in EST

Ah nm, closed already. Good luck!

Have an open slot for an allied or Japanese player if that's the side you enjoy. I am trying to learn the Japanese side. Here are the house rules I would like:

Game options

Advanced weather on,
Allied DC on,
PDU on,
Historical first turn -off,
December 7th surprise -on,
Reliable torpedoes -off,
Realistic R&D -off
No units withdrawals -on.
Fixed Reinforcements- on
Set All facilities to expand - on
Auto upgrade ships and air groups - on
Accept air and ground replacements -on


Yea, the 4E restriction seems like a popular house rule so something must be there.

The one I like for PP (even with the garrison stuff) is
Player must pay PP to move restricted units across borders. exceptions:
- US-Canada and Manchuria-Korea borders can be ignored
- Thai troops can move to Burma and Malaya
- Restricted Chinese troops that historically operated in Burma/ India can cross borders without paying PP

I'm pretty basic on turn 1.
- Allies only issuing new orders in China. (As it is the only ongoing conflict)
- Japan not allowed to hunt the allied carriers on the first two turns.
- No attacking both Manila and PH on turn one.
- Japanese 1st turn invasions will not feature any warp landings and will only be on Malaya or Borneo or Philippines areas. All bases there are fair game.

I would be interested in playing the Allies, I am an experienced Allied player, never played the Japanese.

I have not played for quite a while, and all my previous experience has been as the Japanese. I would suggest a few changes to your house rules, whatever side you play, and whoever your opponent is:

Realistic R&D -on. Quite playable, I know.
No units withdrawals -off.
Fixed Reinforcements -off. Gives a bit of uncertainty and fog of war.

Also, I recommend BtS Lite over RA. The latest version is much more polished, and looks to be quite balanced.

[BillBrown]

I guess not then.

If you are interested, Between the Storms and BTS-Lite have been more recently updated. RA is much more balanced now then the older version that Dan and I are playing. Let me help if you need.
