Hi there..

I am looking for an opponent in a BIG campain, either allied or japanese.

Have played some PBEMs already a Japan an Allies and think of myself a good player.
Can manage multiple turns in the evening (CET).

Looking for some action?....

I (think) I prefer nikmod ( never played it, but it sound cool) and the standard map.
Houserules are to be negotiated...

send you a PM[:)]

I REALLY would like to play NIK mod 5.0......

if you tell me how to install it without instaling the game for the third time im in[:D]

if you tell me how to install it without instaling the game for the third time im in

Have to look myself [;)]

Ok , how about this for houserules:

PT use no more than 5 hexes from base.
Max ASW TF size of 6 ships
MAX AC on base is 40 * AF size (+/-).
MAX CAP of 40% (base/carrier) (NO more uber CAP)



NIK mod SERVERLY reduces the amount of heavy's for the Allies so no more mass bombing by B-17/24. Also, FLAK has been increased MASSIVLY...

You have been warned ... [;)]

ok installed the mod[:D] so my only 1st turn Rule will be one Port Attack and the Secound no Cherry picking:) but i will relocate existing tf's

Ok your rules are good[:D] but 2 things more turn off both sub Doctrines so we will have nice underwater combat and turn of autoreplacment off[:)] i don't wanna to switch off it manualy on the map[:D]

ok installed the mod so my only 1st turn Rule will be one Port Attack and the Secound no Cherry picking:) but i will relocate existing tf's


Ok, How about PDU's ??

Not much allied heavy's in this game, so Lets turn it ON so we can have some upgrade fun.

Forgot,
Last house rule.....NO corsairs on carriers before 1944 [;)]

" Cherry picking ??" ?????

Which side do you want to play b.t.w [;)][:D]

Ok so make your Turn One[:)] PDU on ok no prob about the corsairs no prob Too so just turn of Sub Doctrine and Auto Replacments Off[:)] "Cherry Picking" attacking allied existing TF's on turn one if they canot be moved bye a hauserule:) i wanna be Allied so you can start making your turn now:) please save it in the slot other then 6 , 7 , 11 , 15[:D]

Ok, I understand that you want to play as the Allies. No problem.
It will take me a day to set up the turn (will not go for noumea or invade pearl on turn one).
I will keep to the SRA on turn one, nothing fancy.....

will send you the turn tomorrow....

no problem[:D] what moves can i do on turn 1??[:D]

If Allied surprise is ON, then you can do NO moves [;)].

If we play with PDU on, how about no upgrading of alied 2e-->4e bombers (exeption of catalinas to coronado's and B18's)
to keep the amount of heavy's in play reasenable ?.
Will send you my turn tomorrow.....

Ok caption on houserules and stuff:

PT use no more than 5 hexes from base.
Max ASW TF size of 6 ships
MAX AC on base is 40 * AF size (+/-).
MAX CAP of 40% (base/carrier) (NO more uber CAP)
No corsairs on carriers until 44
No allied 2E-->4E bomber upgrades (exeption, catalinas and B-18's) ???????

One port attack on turn one
I will stay within the SRA on turn one
No "cherry picking"


PDU ON
Sub docterin OFF
AUto upgrades OFF
auto expand OFF
Auto sub OPs on or OFF ????????

Something else?
I think we have set the conditions for a fun game.....

Auto Sub ops Off:) ok those rules are fine[:)] so i can make no moves on DEC 7 right[:)]

Guys,

Not sure if you have started yet BUT:

From someone who plays a Nik Mod against the 'Flak Fanboy' I would possibly suggest you don't have a 40% CAP maximum rule. The main reason being is that even at 90% CAP leakers will get through in Nik Mod. If you have 40% CAP almost nothing will ever be stopped.

Just my thoughts guys and it's your game of course [:)]

Thanks for the Tip

Be sure to download the latest version. some errata corrections

you mean this on Spooky's site[:D]

Yes, don't believe i've gotten a confirmation yet from Spooky. You know you have the latest version if the FAQ contains a "5.0 errata" section on the last page and if when checking your Hurricane squadrons upgrade options, the IIc should now appear.
