sdhundt answered your last request. I don't think your nationality has anything to do with it. My opponents are Fininish and Japanese.

As you dont state you are French until now many would not assume your nationality.

I think we are at a point where a new game is out there and many are giving it a try.

Hardly because your French. One of our favorites over on the THREAD is French. More likely to blame is the low post count you have. A lot of players like to see more posts, equating it with more experince,more of a social nature, more interest and more involvement in the game. A great many of us have had poor experinces with "lurkers", people who seldom post and get into a PBEM without the dedication it calls for. The more we know you , the more likey people are to play against you. So don't be shy. [:)]

The French should be more reactive and open for US -initiatives.

After all , your ancients parents took us off the Germans.

Anyway, txs for the support:)

I'll wait a bit.

Only your lot helped kick the Brits out of the US in the first place, something many USians forget in current times.

What about saying something nice about OZ, we won WW1 for you and took so many souvenirs that the Brits wouldn't let us back for the return round. [:D]

France does have the unique claim to be the USA's 1st ally. And it's 1st enemy (as the USA). (For you non-history types, France was the 1st country to recognize and ally with the Breakaway United Colonies, as well as the USN's opponent in what Americans call "The Quasi-War").

Hi Jean,

I would be willing to start a new game, but of a more limited size at first, as I'm debutting at PBEM - I'm thinking about Guadalcanal, specifically, as I'm actually waging a Coral Sea double-battle.  I've seen you seek an Allied opponent, and that's what I'm willing to play anyway.

By the way, I'm Belgian, so nous pouvons parler français entre nous.  Just send me a PM to discuss the settings & rules if you want to accept my offer.

I suspect two reasons. 1) as noted a new game is out there- WITE. 2) A new patch is coming out. The beta was released in December and still not out which indicates that some polishing is needed.

Yeppers, I am still trying to figure out how to play WitE and I will not start another game until the official patch is out. Although I was considering it a bit. Just bad timing on Jeans part..

No. It is because you are "Helmut". And don't know what you are doing.

Mr. Pratzen.

I'm a Frencgh journalist.

My entry code to this site are
DASSEVILLE JP

OLGOLH

I looked upthat of Mr Helmut, but could not find them, of course.

NOW, Mr Pratzen, a final warning.

If you call me Hellmutt one more time, I go with you for the judges in the USA.

I hope this is clear, and I never want to hear your German again.

All my granparents died in Auswitsch.

Thank you,

And now Pratzen GO

And this is where you lost my trust...

That, and the fact I found no french journalist going by the name you gave.  And hardly speak any french, despite the nationality you claim... and which is contradicted by a few checkings I made.

There're risks I'm no taking, given the amount of time involved in starting a game.

Nice catch Pratzen.

Mr.Ambassador,

Your standings are clear.

Your name will be German, I guess....

Or maybe you're involved in the Politics over there, where "Wallons" and "Flemish " are at war?

Well, Mr. Ambassador

Tell me to leave, and I'll call you a "MOUBARAC"
