Hi. I'm an old hand boardgamer/pcGamer that first played WIR back in 94/5 (Ver 1?) and i'm wondering how to find people to play the game with by e-mail. I am quite happy to play the USSR as i think i can crunch all you Axis
neophytes without too much trouble (HeHe).
(Hey,i'm no socialist twit.But you must take the germans as a 'whole'. They had a superlative army with a majority of the best operational and tactical commanders this species has ever produced. Yet while in the position to carve out a permanent niche for germany as a world power they blew it because the blind stupidity of the feudal Nazi system.
Maybe thats the attraction, a great army with nincompoops at the top, could you do better?)

Can someone give advice?

EMail me at nemesis@northnet.com.au

PS To Mist You want music for WIR. Try Shostokovitch. Russian composer who produced his best symphonies DURING the siege of Leningrad :)

I took that name because of I always admired his defensive prowess during the war. What he did to Zhukov during the battle of the Kustrin bridgehead was a textbook case of creating kill zones and defense in depth to neutralize a numerically superior opponent.

If your still looking for an email opponent I might be game for that, having never played this game against a human opponent. You may reply to me by private email if you choose to take me up on the offer. I will admit I've never had some of the astonishing results that with the Germans that I've seen reported in the various threads. So I don't know how tough a contest for you it will be.

Thanx, Loki! The first thing I've tried to find was Shostakovich's 7th Symhony. The problem is that I want it in mp3 format! Can anyone help?
