With all due respect to the modders, I am afraid of bias. I know that Matrix has worked tirelessly to fine tune the game balance and there are still issues. When you start messing with that you get my nightmare scenario of starting a game for the long haul, spending months and months on it and then discovering that something about the mod is a game killer for you.

I haven't played the Captain, But Simon is my mentor. He played/and taught me in my 1st couple of PBEM's back in Vanilla. I'm excited at going up against the master! Time to see if I've learned anything...[:D]
Different tactics against different players! One thing about Sprior and the Cap'n is that there is plenty of intelligence on their styles available! [:D] For me, not so much....[:(] I never could keep a journal, let alone a AAR.....[:(]

I totally agree with Comrade Red Mouse on this. Same goes for patches and the perpetual 'nerfing'/'de-nerfing'/'re-nerfing' pendulum of patch 'fixes'. It's maddening to keep up with the potential game-breaking changes. [:@]

We've been saving you a slot! [:D] Who would YOU like to partner with? [:D]
You know, now that Martin has settled in the new job and new home, maybe he'd be interested? It could be Brits Vs. Yanks! [:D]

I'm honored by being included in the Yanks category. I usually end up lumped in as either "one of those Commies" or with the rats, voles and other rodents. [:D]

You speak to rates,voles and rodents? [&:] That could be useful to me. When you swing by, could you tell some rats, voles and other rodents to "get off, and out from under my lawn?" [:D]

We've already discussed that. Theyre ground squirrels. Thats on the opposite spectrum of that binomial nomenclature order thing. Think of it as your long-lost Canadian relatives who have no social graces and are generally embarrassing. [:D]

Have you tried playing your old timer music at them? It worked in Gitmo.

Yes, extended map with stacking limits is the way to go. I'm currently playing Japan against the AI in Reluctant Admiral and was surprised when I overstacked attacking Clark Field by about 10,000 troops.ORIGINAL: 1EyedJacks

I'm interested in doing this, although I would like to play the Japanese side with 3 players - 1) Army, 2) Navy, 3) production and resources. I'm very interested in exploring the "communication/coordination" problems between the Army and the Navy. Each of those would control their own air assets. The Navy player would control all combatant ships, and would require coordination with the production player on shared use of xAK's. The three players would decide among themselves who would be the "supreme" commander to set strategy, although all would have input. I would not be averse to playing the Reluctant Admiral mod with stacking limits, and indeed, would prefer it.
I may not be as experienced as you are looking for; I've completed 1 PBEM (Marianas) and have a PBEM campaign game in progress (now late Feb 42). I would be willing to play any of the 3 "parts" described above, although being retired Army I'm probably best suited to that role. My "kid" will be 40 at the end of August; my grandkids, who are 800 miles away, are 14 and 16.
Life's been tossing me curve balls but everything seems to be sorting itself out (finally!). I'd really like to get back into a game. I'm in the process of a move and settling into new duties\responsibilities at work so a late October or early November game sounds great - especially if I've got a partner to share some of the management with.
I'd like to take on the duties of Army & production and keep it a 2 X 2 game though (hoping Uncivil Engineer would be interested in taking on the naval, merchant marines, and sub duties).
Also - there are a lot of other toys out there for AE (thinking of some of the mods that are now available). Are you looking for a stock game or would everyone be interested in trying out one of the mods - maybe something from DaBabes or the Reluctant Admiral? I've really enjoyed playing on an extended map and I think you might also.
My thoughts on the "production player" would include having him do the merchant marine. He would be keeping track of resources and would know where they need to be moved from and to. Obviously, he and the navy commander would need to work out the sharing of the xAK's, but "production" would control all SC, PB, TB, and other miscellaneous "escort type" vessels. Both could do ASW with his available assets. And anything can be made OPCON to the other.
Also see my post above about others who may be interested in this game - I don't expect a decision anytime soon. But November is a ways off yet.

They played Bach at Guantamano? [&:] I thought they played "Barney" and "Sesame street " tunes? [:D] I don't think Back would work for the chipmunks. Maybe "Christmas don't be late".Except I'm afraid they'll like it. [:D]

Hope you are enjoying the Mod!
If you guys are doing a 2x2 and want it to be historical then take one of the Da Babes. They are well done.
