Need Allied Player for BTS Beta Test

Hello all.

I am currently Beta Testing my latest variant of Between the Storms. The current match I have going is proceeding excruciatingly slowly due to my opponent's Real Life events. This has led me to be interested in possibly starting another match.

The Between the Storms Mods are now broken into three variants:
1. Between the Storms: Air
2. BTS: Balanced
3. BTS: Fleet

The CV-heavy BTS: Air is what I am currently playing with Gregg so I would be interested in playing Balanced (BTS with no Yamato-Class but with the Owari-Class of 16" BB) or BTS: Fleet (BTS with the four Yamato's as well as some Light Battlecruisers in a surface-heavy Japanese build).

More details can be provided. I am currently cleaning up some issues revealed in my current match. The Mods can be emailed if you want to look and see...

Would be looking for a semi-slow match (5-7 turns a week) but am good for the long haul. I will address Mod issues that are found by both players through updates.

Just logged back on a few days ago, damn good to see some familiar faces. I hope all is well.
AS soon as figure out this new fangled site I'll be looking for a JFB. Funny, Ive done some backpacking
out your way and never thought to see that old engine (if I'm thinking right it maybe a caboose). :D

Good to see you too! Welcome back to the environs of this forum.

Caboose. We have UP Caboose 25251.

Paula and I are planning to retire next year (hopefully) to the metropolis of Baggs, WY. Population 411. Our cabin is about 30 minutes from there and that is where we'll set-up for the next phase of life.

The caboose will move to the Colorado Model Railroad Museum where it will get a new paint job and stay on load there. Our youngest son, Christopher, will become her steward at that point.

There are not many left of the old group. Michael (NY59Giants) and I were just talking about that a few days ago. Sad but reality...

BANZAI!

Pick me coach!!

Joint AAR talking about the game and what changes we have done to these mods over the years. You have done every possible opening to date except Russia.

OK. We are on. The choice is BTS: Balanced for the match. A joint AAR is a good idea.
