Hi,

looking for a german opponent. Server game, settings up for discusion.

No one?

Maybe some clarifications:
- Server game, game version always up to date
- Full Blizzard
- No bonus

The rest can be decided by the Axis forces.

I can do 3 - 4 turns a week.

Happy to play and consider myself a good German player - 6 victories against AI opponent (4 German & 2 Soviet) and am a long term wargamer but have yet to try a human opponent.

Prefer random weather (always surprises) but happy with non-random weather if that is your preference.
Likewise, I think the Soviet has too much transport so I set it to 85% when playing as soviet to force me to choose between factory evacuation and unit movement but as you are the soviet player will leave this to you.

My preference is to play to value tactics/strategy so I avoid gamey options like "panzer ball" and only use Panzer HQs to supply panzers (though I occasionally attach a panzer to a corps where the leader has 7M 7I or 8I 8M ratings to practice combined operations).

Likewise I dislike Soviet players who exploit the rules by simply running away to overextend German supply line and/or hide the soviet airforce in the National Reserve as neither would happen in real life. However, I am perfectly happy for soviets to ignore Stalin's no retreat rule and conduct a fighting retreat to next set of defensible terrain such as next river line.

I travel a lot, so prefer PBEM to server so I can conduct my turn on laptop when I have no wifi connection.

Hi,

already found an opponent.

Thanks.
