I have only played against AI, would like a similar level opponent so it should be exciting for both.

Latest version 1.08.08.


41-45 GC, scenario version open to discussion as I dont know all of them.

Some options for settings, idea is to get more friction in the operational planning and not play a scripted game.

Random weather, full blizzard but no Soviet bonus

OR

Historical weather, mild blizzard but Soviet bonus +1.



Full FOW


HQs locked


Open to some house rules but need to be explained the reasons or game limitations behind them.

Hi Hyacinth
I'm a beginner too. I've only played two small scenarios. As far as I know, full blizzard and no soviet bonus is a good way to help Russians survive, because normal blizzard rules greatly weaken the Germans. BTW, no replay of course.
What side do you want to play ?

About house rules :
No bombing of HQs (I think it is easy to disorganise the rear this way)
No more than 3 runs of airfiled attacks (but I tink v.1.8.08 limits that now)
No naval invasion before 1943 and not east of Sebastopol if it is not owned by the Russians (to limit gamey attacks on Odessa)

I want to play the Axis side, I am fine with those house rules.

So you want random weather, full blizzard but no Soviet bonus?

OK to play the soviet side in a CG (I'm a mid-level player).
OK for rules : HQ lock, mild blizzard and no soviet bonus.
