I am looking for experienced Japan player for scn1.
HRs open to discussion.
Variable game pace. Obviously, first few turns will take longer. Usually I can do one turn a day, sometimes more but most of the weekends I am out of home.

It's more and more difficult to find a decent jap on the market nowadays😄

I would say there always have been abundant players willing to play Allies but no so many Japan.

I have already played IJ side 2x in grand campaign("AI") and playing right now in a PBM. Otherwise I would be open to a game (also IJ side is more time consuming).
But I would play Allies, have them played only 2x("AI") and not PBM only a small scen[8D] I guess I could put out turns also much faster as Allies (I am normally very slow PBM player)
You also have "Alfa" in your name, so we should match up [;)]

I am an experienced Japanese player but for me now as good as the game is the Allies can just sit back and do very little and just wait until there unstoppable then go at it! Not enough pressure by the game is put on the Allies to defend things, should be more points VP for places on the map! So japan has a chance to win in 43 as I feel the balance is not right!

Passive allied play is boring for both sides. So would you be up for a game?

a good japanese player does not need any advantage (HR or scenario) to put up a fierce and long resistance to the allied powers. and I know at least two.

I am an average Jap player but there is no way I can do a turn per day early on in the war.

Hi there. I might be interested in a game. I've played Japan exclusively since the old WitP back in 2003.

I'm one of the old farts, but took close to a year off and just came back. The itch is back. One thing I tried but do not like is multi-day turns. If you want to do that, then I'm sorry but I can't play. Other than that, I'm ok with most house rules. Do you have any thoughts on house rules? I'll look up the house rules I used in my years long game that unfortunately ended in Jan 44.
I'm not the type to abuse the engine to my advantage. Ask any of the old timers about me.

I have also WitE2 on my hands so definitely won't be able to do multiple turns per day as well. Regarding HRs if you have some list, please share, at least I don't have to compile one. Other option is no HRs but most things that can be abused by empire can Allies do much better later.
I am also not the type who is abusing the game or doing unjustified gambles.

Now that's an opponent. Mike may 'not abuse the engine', but I don't think that applies to his adversaries.[:D]
He knows the game well and should be a tough player.
Good to see you back.[&o]
P.S. I learned a lot from him.[:)]

Other option is no HRs
Its your game, and this is just my .02, but IMHO this just simply leads to the 'Battle of India' as Japan rolls right through China from Manchukuo. Then its on to India through Burma. Unless that's the kind of game you want.
BTW this should lead to a Japanese win through VP at the end of '43.
