looking for first game.

[trajanus]

I am interested in diving into PBEM, but as i've only been playing for a little bit I am quiet inexperienced and was thinking of maybe trying the Rising Sun scenario to give me some experience during those first few months.

I would like a very experienced jap opponent that is willing to talk(discuss strategy, give ideas on what i should have done in a situation...that is..after i've been crushed [:)]) and to be patient with me so that i can learn the nuances of the game.

Of course i'm not playing to win, i'm playing to have fun. So a win or lose for me is based on how well i did as opposed to history. I think I can handle 1 turn a day during weekdays, and maybe more during the weekends, that depends.

On house rules, I'm so new to the game I wouldn't know if i was doing anything gamey. I tend to roleplay as I play, so I am not one to exploit the game system for a quick victory.

Anways, in summary, I am looking for a good experienced japanese player who is willing to help teach a newbie the ropes of PBEM in the Rising Sun scenario.

I'm relatively experienced - but not from a PBEM - I've been trying to get more involved in PBEM - if your interested - I'd love to go at it and can give you whatever advice you may want...

Sounds good. I saw that you were looking for a scen 13 or 14 opponent. My intentions were to play the Rising Sun scenario just to learn the mechanics of those first few months. But with those scenarios, that issue is mute. I'm perfectly willing to play a scenario 13 if you want to play that. I've never played as the Japs though, so I'd want to be the allies.

As this is my first pbem, i am unsure as to house rules, but i tend to play pretty historical, and i haven't figured out what the exploits are. anyways, scen 13 is fine by me.
