Hi, i cannot stay any longer without playing a pbem...
my previous matches are all gone after my return into the scenes...so i badly need a game.

Let's see if somebody wants to fight against this old italian player...

looking for someone who picks up the Jap Empire
Big campaign. Scen 15 (or whatever is it called the big one).
Andrew brown's Latest map (this isn't negotiable).
Nik's mod+AB's map would be the best for me, but even vanilla+AB's map would suit.

House rules:
Allies cannot move any planes on turn 1
Allies cannot form any new TF on turn 1
ASW TF or escort MAX n.6 of dedicated ships.
No allied 4Es night bombing allowed.
Night bombing limited to 2Es and to City attack missions.
Before invading Russia Japan needs to activate it at least 30 days before the invasion.
No sub invasions
No invasions at nonbase or non dot hexes
Limitation to the number of planes in each AF: overstacking isn't allowed when exceeding the 100*level base ( so AF 5, MAX 500 planes allowed)
Any other house rule can be discussed
Realism:

Allied Sub Doc - "OFF"
Japanese Sub Doc - "OFF"
Fog of War - "ON"
Advanced Weather - "ON"
Allied Damage Control - "ON"
Historical First Turn - "OFF"
PDU - "ON"
Variable Setup - "OFF"
December 7th Surprise - "ON"
Reinforcements - "Variable"


Anyway, the house rules are enough imho...but in all my games i stated that what is needed is some common sense by both players not to exploit the game flaws and to try to keep the game as much realistic as it can be.

European timeline.
Can guarantee 2-3 turns each day untill august, where for my 2 weeks of vacation i won't guarantee anything[:D]
I'll do an AAR...

anyone?

what???? Allies again[&:][X(][:-]

I've been playing too much on jap side...4 matches against only 1 on allied side dear Pauk[:D]
No, seriously, at the moment i'd like to experiment and implement those strategies i was using against Hawker...i was having so much fun in that game!!

If you can gimme a day or so to at least go through the Japanese OOB, I'd be happy to take up the gauntlet. PM me and we can start emailing.
 
I know the overall Pacific War pretty well, and I've played the allies against the PO for a few months a couple times. I've played a couple of the small scenarios as allies, and never really played the Japs in this game. Though I did win a PBEM of Civ 3 Conquest as the Japs against three human opponents! So, I just might give you an unorthodox adversary.
 
This would be PBEM number four for me, and that is all I'd take up, cause I'd like to play it through to the end.

Anthtopoid, you're in if you like.
If you want some specific house rule that i have not enumerated, just let me know.
Vanilla with AB latest map is ok for you?
 
what's your timeline? Being from Italy mine is Greenwich+1
Usualli i can make 1 turn early in the morning (before 8 a.m.), 1 turn for lunch, and few more after 7 p.m.
However, take your time and let me know.
 
Ciao

Ya'll should take a look @ the Iron Storm II mod - I think you'd have fun with it. [8D]

It seems there is another candidate. Considering that i do not know you too, Anthropoid is the first one on the list. Please confirm you're ready to start today, otherwise it will be Beren's turn.
 
 

Hey GH [:)]

You've been away for a while.
You may want to scrap the ASW rule, with 1.8x it's really not needed.
And you may want to limit Allied (US) upgrades of 2E LB into 4E (only those who have it as default upgrade) [;)]

Anyway I'm thinking of playing the Japs, but I've not made up my mind yet [:'(]

Hey MC!
Yes, the 2Es to 4Es is something we did not agree, but i'll do it anyway. As with Hawker i'll try to limit the allied greatest advantages.
However hope with the Nik's changes to the A2A system most of these houserules won't be needed that much!
We'll see with the ASW...i really do not know how the new system works..
 
You as the japs??? Really?? Oh God! Count me in[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
 
Ciao Dear[;)]

If your still looking GH, look at the post I just made.

I've just found one opponent for CHS and one possible more for a vanilla game... sorry mate, just one day too late.
However, i really like the house rules you proposed...i would have been your man!

A day late and a dollar short as usuall.
