Hi,

I'm back on this game after some years. I've tried a MP game some years ago, but it didn't go far as the german player stopped it.

I'm ready to try a new one as the soviet player. I'm looking for a not so experienced german player. I don't know the tips and exploits of the game, i'm here to have an interesting and open game

I'm opened to any house rule, but for my part, I don't try to use any exploit.

I can play on average 3-4 turns a week

I don't have news from my axis opponent, so i have some time to start a new game if somebody is motivated

New message.

4 years ago, I've tried 2 MP games. None of them go further the 9th or 10th turn. German looked unhappy with their advances.

I've returned to the game recently, and tried new MP games.
1) The first one was nice, but the german was maybe unhappy with his advance, so the game stopped on turn 4 (no news).
2) The second one was with a sympathetic and benevolent veteran, but he wanted to play with a previous of the patch, which was complicated to manage for me.
3) The third one was a guy knowing the first turn of the game close to perfection. He trapped the whole russian army on turn 1 (the first turn was done twice due to a technical problem, and the russian HQ's were routed exactly at the same place, which was very impressive). However, there was a small breach on the south front, delaying to Turn 2 the destruction of russian armies in the south. It seemed to be too much and then i've never received turn 2.
4) The fourth one is ok to play, but has already other games and has agreed to play on a slow pace, so i'm waiting for turn 1.

Then, i've still some free time to play a game as the USSR, against a german opponent. This will still be my first real MP game. I'm still looking for a not too experienced german, but sufficiently to advance a little during the first turns, and then willing to have a long game. Ideally, i want to play until the end, whatever a side is winning or not. We have to fight in the streets of Berlin or Stalingrad (or both).

I've made some improvements on the standard game rules, so I propose the following ones §without knowing exactly why, but it seems recurrent) :

41-45 Bitter end campaign
Soviet +1 attack bonus
Mild Blizzard
Locked HQ's
Full FOW

I'm ok to change some of them if asked. I don't use any exploit, mostly because i don't know them, and don't want to know them. I just want to play an interesting, balanced and long game.

Would you be willing to play with these settings
Normal campaign
Soviet +1 attack
Full blizzard
Open HQ's for Germans
No movement fog?
It's probably too much to ask.
I am willing to play to the end.

it seems ok for me. To be honest, I have not a sufficient experience to appreciate the impact of such or such change in the rules.

Okay, good. PM me your email and let's talk over that. Do you want a server or a pbem game?
