Onime and myself are looking for a pair of dastardly, sneaky , talented and effective players to take the role of the LBY's in a 2x2 grand campaign, to start later this fall. We are looking for late October , early November. Vacations over , kids back in school , etc. We are looking for players that want a relaxed, but FUN game with minimum rules or drama (except for crashing aircraft and sinking ships!). We both can provide referrences if you like, and both of us have done 2x2's.

If interested , let us know. We tend to use drop box and Skype.

I agree with everything Steve has said except the insinuation that I have kids (that I know of). [:D]

The reason for the delay is because I will be out of the country until early October but I will have email and forum access and will be happy to communicate with any vict...err, volunteers who would step forward. [:)]

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.

Extended Map and Stacking Limits: THEY ROCK!

I'm pretty sure Steve has some mods installed but I have never tried any. 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.

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.

No worries - I didn't realize you had a pair of mates in mind for the game.

For myself I'd prefer to play either solo or as part of a 2-person tag-team.

If you guys do an AAR I'll follow along though!

TTFN,

Mike
