Match either side New Scen #2 (Closed)

[chaos45]

Newish player, played the older version of the game and have started a game but other player is have a hard time flipping turns so looking to get a match actually going. Will play either side, experienced wargamer but not a ton of experience on this specific Admirals edition but willing to give a go for the long term. We can discuss house rules, currently updated to the newest Beta via matrix site

This is back open will play either side or if anyone wants to pick up Allies on Turn 4 he will share password.....player decided was to major a time commitment.... nothing major has happened as of yet other than initial invasions and Pearl Harbor.

House rules: Dont think anything is to big a ask for either side.
No allied orders on turn 1 with exceptions for existing TFs and all Chinese units.
No US CV hunting in first 5 turns-Due to Japanese player knowing general US CV positions for start which is something they didnt know historically. We can discuss how to make this work its easy enough.
No 4E naval bombing below 10k except floatplanes and naval variants of land based bombers like PB4Y-1.
No 4E bombers attacking below 10k
No full speed off-map naval movement.
Glen is only fp allowed on Japanese SS.
No strategic bombing in or from China until 44.
Units in restricted HQs must pay PP to change HQ before crossing national borders exception for Thai units
Airborne/Naval invasions only on base hexes including dot base.
General good faith agreement not to be "gamey,"
No night bombing before 1944---doing research neither side really used night bombing until then nor was it effective....even in 1944+ the USAF only applied it with the firebombing of Japanese cities for the most part.

Easiest way to chat while doing turns is via discord IMO. Let me know if anyone is interested and wants any additions to house rules.

I might be interested. I am in the UK timezone and can almost always do a turn a day. Usually I play Japan but am open to being the good guys for a change.

How would you feel about 2-day turns?

There is only one HR I don't like:

No strategic bombing in or from China until 44.

I might perhaps add a related one though:

City Attack can only be targeted at Manpower (exception: Aerial Mines).

Disallowing the targeting of specific industries drastically reduces the effectiveness of Strategic Bombing to (IMO) more realistic levels.

I would also add a couple more HRs which relate to mechanics:

1. Nothing flies over 30,000ft (there is an integer overflow bug relating to altitudes over 32,000ft)
2. Only Fighters, Fighter-Bombers and designated Attack Bombers can do low-level Airfield, Port, Ground or Naval Attacks. Low-level being 100ft or 1,000ft.

I have never played the 1128 beta (usually use 1126b) but I don't mind giving it a go. However I would insist on the map with stacking limits.

Please DM if you want to pursue further.

Nobody looking for a game?

You can look up my WITE 2 AAR from a bit back to see I'm willing to go the full game...although this will be even longer...should be able to flip 1-2 turns per day most days.

Are you still looking for an opponent? If so, I'd be interested in playing the Allies.
