(Closed) Looking for good to expert opponent v1.10.00 any side, GC1941

Post by EwaldvonKleist »

Looking for an opponent. Detail helps preventing later disappointements.
1)Game version 1.10.00 and VC290 GC file. [1]
2)Full (hard) blizzard
3)no +1
4)No paradrops before 04.12.1941, no more than 2 during blizzard, the dropped units must not move on or next to a repaired rail hexagon
5)Game goes until the beginning of march 1942 by default. Both sides should play as they would if they were going for the long run. [2]
6)Axis side must not the supply/fuel stocks present in Army HQs at the beginning for supplying motorized units
7)Axis side must drop fuel to an isolated motorised division and move it in the same turn (because there is no MP penalty for airdrops on isolated units)
8)AAR allowed (I will not write one initially)
9)Standard CV calculation
10)Non random weather
11)Server game
12) Player information: I have played several GCs vs humans now , if you are seriously interested in a game I can give you a listing. Judging the own skill level is always difficult (understating it is unfair and on the other hand you do not know what you don't know, so overestimating one's knowledge can easily happen). On the scale beginner-below average-average-good-very good-expert I am somewhere between good and very good (I guess). Closer to very good as Axis and closer to good as Soviets. I have no problem playing a better opponent, since it motivates one to give everything, makes the game more tense and you learn more this way. In my games I have usually exchanged game knowledge with my opponents liberally, and I would like to do this for that game as well, but it is no "must". I can play 1, maybe 2 turns a week, and I will not quit the game depending on how it plays out unless both sides agree. Of course, there is never a guarantee that RL does not interfere. Pauses due to vacations/heavy workload may happen, but I will keep you informed by E-Mail. I usually have time to play a turn on friday/saturday.
I am more the "complex chess" player type as compared to the "historical player", and I will not complain if you use creative tactics/strategies. When playing the Soviets, you should not have a problem with optimised openings (of course, there is always the possibility that I screw up or of bad RNG rolls). Communication can take place in German or English.
13) Who I am looking for: Good to expert opponent, 1 turn per week on average (no problem if there is a pause because of vacation/heavy work load/family etc.)
14) I personally do not care much about victory conditions. If you like, we can define some.
15) I am happy to play a mirror game under the same conditions running at the same time.
[1] I personally prefer 1.10.00 because, having played under both versions, I like the game flow/balance better than in 1.11.01, while 1.11.00 is very pro Axis. Also note that beside the nerf of Axis logistics 1.10.00->1.11.01, there were also a few Axis buffs and some nerfs to the Soviet side, notably the starting OOB is a few 100k lower. Having multiple WitE versions running at the same time isn't difficult, I can help you with that if necessary.
[2] I like to have pre-defined points where each side can lay down the game, so no one has the feeling to be caught in an endless struggle he is not enjoying anymore. Prevents disappointment on both sides. That does not mean that, if well balanced, the game necessarily has to end there.

I hope that I haven't forgotten to list something :)

If you are interested, please PM or E-Mail me over the userpage. Some points are negotiable.
