Hi,
I'm looking for an opponent willing to commit to playing out the Iwo Jima scenario. I will post my turns on my channel on YouTube. It is a big commitment in time and I will not want someone who quits early.
I was on the Beta test but on purpose did not do extensive tests with the Iwo Jima or Solomons scenarios, so as to make it fresh for me haha.

I had another YouTuber lined up to do a joint production but it may not work out at this time.
PM me if interested.
I can also be reached via Discord (OldCrowBalthazor) and can do a voice chat to explain things including schedules etc etc.

Still looking for an opponent that would like to defend Iwo Jima....

Must your opponent be a YouTuber? If not I'm your huckleberry

In addition, an excellent example of the Slitherine PBEM server repackaging mechanism in action during an internet glitch at the 16:40 timestamp. Link in the comments of that episode. A lot of folks complain about this but quite a few of us MPers like it and are not bothered at all by the frequency, as I narrate in the video.
