Hi!
Well some of the vets from the UV days might remember me as an old UV/WitP tester. I have not touched WitP since april more or less since I did not have the time to test anymore. Anyway that makes me sort of "green" but I still got it I think [:D]
I play games till it's finished and I guess UV gamer's appreciated that. So that is important if you want to play against me you will stick it out till the bitter end. I noticed something with UV...players did something to get a great victory but when they failed (some did beat me of course) they said it was no purpose continuing. So please if you feel you would quit a game once something bad might happen look away and don't reply.
1941-45 is what I want. Veterans and well known people may only reply (sorry but with so much time to invest I go with the well known opponents of the forum)
I can not guarante one day per turn since I spend some days per week at my girlfriend's. But unless I die you will get a fight to the end.
Cheers
Dan

RE: Gamer wanted
I -might- take you up on this. Would you want to be the Allies, or the Axis? Wouldn't really matter to me. The other wrinkle is that, my brother (Knavey) and I, usually play as a team (we currently have a Scen #15 vs. KBullard and LtFighter). So if you don't mind (and Knavey has time for a 2nd game), it might be a "we" that are interested in taking you on.
If you want Japan, great, we're used to playing the Allies. If you want to play as Allies, I'll need to take a week to figure out Japanese production before we get started.

I am interested. Let me figure out japanese production too, ok? [:)] I can take the japanese. Expect to hear from me in a week. BTW so you will do turns togheter or do you mean you want to play me in two games?
RE: Gamer wanted
Long time no hear, I am looking for one more game. Playing Kid now and waiting on Mogami and Ron. As you are the only one to beat me in UV I'd like a rematch.

RE: Gamer wanted
It would be -one- game against the both of us. Knavey likes to run the US, and I play UK, Dutch, Oz, and pretty much everything else. Essentially, you'd send the completed turn to either of us (say for instance, me), I make my moves, send the "un-ended" file to Knavey, he makes his moves, ends the turn, and sends it to you.
Of course, if you want a team-mate, that works too. It's just a matter of slowing the game down a bit, because the file has got to be punted around. But it also makes for an interesting dynamic. Be advised our "advantage" is that Knavey and I really are brothers, live in nearby towns, and -do- get on the phone every night to discuss/argue over strategy. It -is- an advantage because we're not constrained by short emails of "what are we gonna do about...?"
We usually can do a turn every other day (because it sometimes takes us the extra day to punt it back and forth).
Your taking a week is fine. To be honest, I'm not positive that Knavey has time to play a second game (gotta ask). But his work schedule should slack off a bit after Thanksgiving, so he might be up for it. If it ends up a decline, then you've still got your Turn 1 done, and can punt it to whomever you like.
Options are pretty much up in the air for us. If you Jap Sup Doctrine is on, then Allied Sup Doctrine should be on. I don't think we care about historical starts or anything else. We play fairly conventionally, and frankly, I don't really care about house rules (beat us any way you can I say). Most house rules tend to handicap the IJN player (IMHO), and frankly IJN needs all the help they can get. But if there's something you're concerned about, best to mention it in the open to start.
What else...?
Number of days per turn? 2 is fine with me (not Knavey's preference tho). But I know one takes forever. Your thots?
Blah, blah, blah. We've got a week to hash this out.

RE: Gamer wanted
I would like 1 day since thats what I am used to but if you feel 2 day turns works I'll trust you [:)]
RE: Gamer wanted
Ignore my PM. I guess I could take you on. Depends on how fast or slow the Feinder game will be. If it's less turns per week since they have a main game going on I could take you on. As the USN that is [:)] I'll let you know within a week, ok?
RE: Gamer wanted
Alright, no more replies from other gamers please. Most likely setting one up with an old UV enemy (DPstafford) too so my slots are filled.
RE: Gamer wanted
I have a 2 day turn ready as the IJN. scen 15 normal settings. If that suits you Kid has the allied password. Otherwise it will be a week or so to produce a new beginning turn. Looking forward to battle!

RE: Gamer wanted
Heyas U2.
I just spoke with Knavey. We're good for the game. One-day turns (like you requested). CV only units on CVs if you want (but read my private message, this is actually handled in WitP differently than in UV). And size restrictions on TFs is ok too. Like I said, if Jap Sub Doctrine "off" then Allied Doctrin "off", or if Jap Doctrine "on", the Allied Doctrine "on". You can vary setup, or arrival times, doesn't really matter to us. Reminder that this would be more liesurely paced game, because we usually do one turn every other day; so we'll be playing when we're grandfathers... :^)
Sending you PM with our emails.
Good luck!

Hi Dan
Great to see you back [;)] I understand what you mean - I have not yet figured how to spend a lot of time with WITP and with my girl friend [;)]
But I still hope to find out !
