Expert Japanese looking for victim or noob

[moses]

I'm bored and have to do something while waiting for the new patch. I want to play John III in a 1.8 game but I wait and wait for the patch. I've been working on a Jap turn and am almost done. Nothing fancy on first turn. I'm a dead historical player. My fleets will all be within 4 hexes of the Jpaanese mainland at the end of the first turn. No "Gamey; IMO attacks everywhere on turn one.

I will attack PH, Batan Island, and Kuntan on turn one. Thats it. Plus I'm not kidding I'm not going to have 23 task forces one hex away from 23 other invasion sites. At the end of turn one I will have nothing more then 4 hexes away from my occupied areas. You will get a fair first turn. BTW I will only port attack PH.

In return I expect that allies will stay away from the three locations above. You may move all active TF but not interfere in any way with these turn one ops. Your Air force may not be touched in any way on turn one. You may not create any new TF's. Armies may move as you wish everywhere except PI and Malaysia which must wait until turn two.

I should be considered an expert player. If you are new thats OK. I'll play and I'm happy to teach a few things. I actually prefer a new player as my game with John III is quite depressing and I neeed a lift. Just realise what you're up against as I know the system well.

My turn rate may be slow at first. I'm a teacher and am now in my heavyest period. Maybe 4 turn a week for until March. Maybe a bit faster if you can get several turns on weekends. Once March arrives I can go faster. My game with John III is at Dec 7 42 so we have done 1 full year in about 6 months. Over the summer I can do many turns each day.


I don't like house rules. I just ask myself if something makes sence historically I do it. If it is just stupid historically I don't. It's a game and you play to win. But also you play to have fun. So mostly if I think something is wrong I don't do it. If I think maybe its wrong I ask the other player to see what he thinks.

But basically its once the first turn is unleashed you do what you can. BUT I PREFER A PLAYER WITH AN HISTOICAL PERSPECTIVE. I may do an AAR but maybe not depending on how you feel.

OK, which version and is this senario 15 or one of the mods? How did you set the options?

I too am more than willing to play 'historically,' I define that to be I am playing for fun not only for victory. I do not like some of the 'gamey' options. Let me know.

email is nomad.pbem@gmail.com

The only real problem is that we are opposite on work, I work long hours in summer and fewer hours in winter. But I can still do a turn a day weekdays and 2 or 4 on most weekend days.

Sub doctrins of, adc on. PdU on, rienforcement fixed. Perhaps we are not optimally matched due to our scheduales. I have lots of time ins ummer and in winter slow down quite a bit.


Pays to think about it. Many opponents. Not many match up well. [:)]

[Nomad]

ok, I'll wait.

Stock or CHS?
Patched to which 1.795?

[moses]

stock. I have little confidence in mods. I know everyone thinks they will be better. I think they will simply make different mistakes. Just my opinion.


I've played stock so long it makes my head hurt to do a different map.[&:]

[Black Mamba 1942]

Modded out here.[;)]
The CHS is really very good.

You should try it sometime.
AB's map is excellent.

Good luck![8D]

I like AB's map in Austrailia. Not as much in other area's. I'm sure the mods are better in some area's as well.

You know----- you learn the game and play it. At some point realism is relative. In the end I think GG makes the best calls. Although I still complain all the time.[:)] I prefer to play stock and try to talk them in to changing it as I like.

Good luck to you as well in you're games.[8D]

If you just want a game until the patch comes, send me a turn. I can do a turn a day at most. I am laid back and won't bug you as to where the turn is.

Besides, I have yet to play with PDUs. I am at 1.6 right now.
