Looking for an allied player or players to take on a Jap Team. The Jap team consist of a strategist and a logistics manager.

What map?
What scenario?
What patch?
What houserules?

[:D][:D][:D]

Hello, I'm the other half of the Japanese team in this game.
To answer your post:
I think a basic scen 15 game. I've posted some suggested starting rules to discuss, but I'm sure we are flexible on them. Ddog will be most affected by house rules so I'll leave the final decisions up to him. As for me, I'm open to whatever, CHS, Nik, etc. I currently have 1.602 running, but I can do a second install for 1.795 if that is what everyone wants to use.

Proposed set up:

1. Historical start off
2. Sub doctrines on
3. Allied damage control on
4. Player defined upgrades on
5. Vary initial set up off
7. Reinforcements as historical
8. 1 day turns

HR's (again, this is a starting point)
1. Turn 1 No Port attack except PH (because of time difference Japan can not surprise bases more then 4 hours apart) Japan can attack another port on turn 1 other then PH but then no PH attack allowed.
2. Japan can attack more then 1 port on turn 1 but then no surprise and Allies can give orders every where on turn 1.
3. Japanese must stay under Aircover when conducting first move landings. Aircover can come from CV or CVLs
4. No transfer from one restricted HQ to another HQ without paying PP (No Manchuria/Korea transfer to China or China to Manchuria/Korea without paying PP)
5. If Japanese decide to attack Soviets they must first activate Soviets by conducting air attack before moving any Japanese unit that does not start on Soviet border to Soviet border. (No exploiting Soviets being frozen in place)
6. ASW groups have to be 5 ships max (unless playing 1.795, then this isn't needed, right?)
7. No invasion from subs
8. If first move is true surprise move Allies may only issue orders to China units.
9. Allied CV TFs are not attackable on first turn.
10. PDU restriction: Japanese Lt. Sentai’s cannot upgrade to 2E bombers. Only Allied 16 & 48 bomber groups can upgrade to 4E (to give same amount as non-PDU upgrades).

A fairly historical start.
That's what I've been looking for.[;)]

I'm game for NikMod 5.2 or CHS with AB's 5.1 map, patched to 1.795.
Your house rules are reasonable.

With an upgrade to 1.8, should it ever be released.[:D]
PM sent.

Sorry, I have to decline now.
I've picked up another game and my schedule doesn't permit another at this time.
Good luck to both of you!

bump

I had to bow out.

So these guys are still looking for a player.[;)]

I would be willing to take on an allied game.

I am using AB's 5.01 map nik's mod 5.02 and patch 1.795

email me if interested.

Might be a couple days grraven, I think Ddog is out sick.

No problem. let me know when your ready. I'll be here

Just wondering if you guys are still wanting to start a game?
Please let me know one way or the other.

Thanks
Grraven

Hi grraven,

I think we have someone, I'll post again once we have turn or two done since then I'll know for sure that we are under way.

My appologies grraven. I've been tied up with some "real life" things that have kept me from being as vigiliant as I should have been. If you can't find another apponent, I'll start a campaign with you. Just let me know.

Sorry again!
Cheers,
DDog

Ddog.

I would be happy to play. If you have the time. Let me know.
