Hello,
saw the post and as I've never played against a human opponent I would love to give it a go.
I have no idea how this is done so if you do great. do you have any house rules you'd like to use.
If i am not the opponent you want, no problems and i hope you find one.
yours Mark

Hi Mark,
I think we might be well suited for a campaign game if we're both newbies.
Never tried the server so maybe could do a pbem.
Give me a day or 2 to finalise possible house rules and I'll get back to you if you're still interested...

[Mark Lewis]

Hi,
sounds like a plan. happy to wait till you are ready to go.
Just let me know what rules you favour and we can talk through them.
I am not a win at all costs player, more a play for the enjoyment of playing.
Speak soon.

[steevo38]

Hi again,
Yes agree, enjoyment comes before winning at all costs!
Sorry about delay, a bit busy this week but I'll get my thoughts finalised in next few days.....
Speak again soon,

[Mark Lewis]

sure no problem, understand busy, take care speak soon

[steevo38]

Hi,
Nearly there, will have something concrete on the table tomorrow!

[Mark Lewis]

Looking forwards to it.

Hi,
After much contemplation I've come up with the following,
Both FOW's
No auto AI Air Assist
TB control - On
Reduced Retreat Attrition - On
Combat Delay Effects - Reduced
Miscellaneous Leader Deaths - Reduced
Amphib invasions - Limited
No temp motorisation - On
No airborne ops - On
Extended play
+15% Soviet Fortification (Slightly faster digging in, Historically accurate according to German intelligence)

If you're fine with this I'll set it up on the slitherine multiplayer server immediately and create a password.

Hi, to be honest, the only questions id have is the control over the TB, i understand that it can have a rather large effect on the game, but im unsure how. and the reduced retreat attrition. But that said, i am ok to go with things as you lay them out, as i said i am just excited to play against a person instead of the computer for the first time. If things go massively wrong we can talk further. That said im ok with getting my ass kicked in the later half the war, i will fight a heroic rearguard all the way to Berlin. Just promise me there will be no war crimes trials after its all over. Hope i give you a challenge. Lets go for it mark

[steevo38]

HI,
I've set it up and if you login to the multiplayer server, if I've understood all of this correctly, you should see my open challenge. password.... Pabeyeda
If it works, I believe you can go straight into the 1st turn, as you are the first player.
...and don't worry, you are granted immunity from all unchivalrous acts, as Stavka may commit a few too!!!
Hope to see you on the other end......
Best

Good morning, i have tried to log into the game, but an error at the log in is preventing me. i have put a ticket into the company and am awaiting a reply, get back to you as soon as i do, thanks Mark

[steevo38]

Hi,
Hope it isn't something I've done wrong my end.
This is the first time using the server so all new to me.
All I know is that the game is set up but after that not sure what you have to do your side.
Fingers crossed

[steevo38]

HI,
Still not got back to you on the problem?

[steevo38]

Hi Again,
As you haven't got back I assume it didn't work out.
I'll leave it a day or 2 before looking for a new opponent.
Best
