I am willing to pick any period after 1941, and although I have the most experience playing US Army, I´m willing to consider just about any nation.

Why didn't you put this in the opponents wanted forum?

I just need an answer, and if it is negative, no hard feelings and we can let this thread die.....

Flame on. (cough, cough) Game on!



So what's it gonna be, TokyoBoy? Do you have too many PBEM's on the plate now? Einar has been more than patient and deserves a response. Please give him one.

I don't see a response from Einar about why this is posted in the main forum instead of in the opponents wanted forum or handle it by PM like everyone else does.

Status: offline 		I´m sorry, I´ll repost this in the opponent wanted forum, there is no real reason for it being here other than I did it on a whim and didn´t realize there was a special forum for this type of thing

Anyways, if you feel you can´t play no worries, I just felt that since we play a wargame it would be cooler to have a clash of arms rather than a war of words

P.s I have never played vs a human opponent nor done a PBEM game of any kind, so I might be setting myself up for an ass-whooping. As flawed as TbT´s gaming strategies are, I sincerely hope he´s a tougher opponent than the AI!

Sheesh, TokyoBoy, quit dodging the question and answer him! Why are you making him jump through hoops to play you? If you don't want to play him, just say so.

Einar: You did nothing wrong and you well earn direct answer.

??? Please elaborate. What cultural aspect?

And it´s time for me to start an unofficial poll so I´ll know what to expect: Which tactics are more dangerous. Haigh Tactics or AI Tactics?

Wanna more diplomacy?

Status: offline 		Interesting take, Puukkoo. I would not have thought that TokyoBoy's insistence was a cultural issue. Formality in the conduct of war could be an explanation, I suppose. The Samurai code of honor and all that. If that is the case, TokyoBoy, then I do apologize for my questioning your lack of a response, and I hope Einar will consider posting to the "Opponents Wanted" forum in order to assuage TokyoBoy's sense of honor.

Hey guys, mind the 'cultural aspect' in the discussion.


You are very right, Pasi. That is something all should understand. And it works to both ends: A has to understand B's cultural difference, but also B has to understand A's cultural difference. That's something we all have to understand when we are in internationally used forums. When something remains unclear, it's mostly recommended to ask directly.

And with the 'cultural aspect' there comes the 'personal aspect', naturally. We react differently to different things although many share the same cultural background (US, CAN, GBR, FIN etc).

Both aspects need understanding and being careful of what you write. That is something everyone needs to understand.

Let's all try to calm down.

No Aussie drinks Fosters... we've covered this many times over at the Depot.

Make sure you're culturally sensitive to me too!

reminds me on cultural differences between Germany and the USA. A client of mine...US based company with subsidaries in Europe... wanted to make sure that I file the tax return in time. I answered "I will do my best"..or something in this direction wit the German understanding of it...it est: "I will do really everything, sleep in the office , divorce if neccessary, do not eat or drinkor sleep...we will file in time!!!!"....and the tax director in the US understand in the US or UK fashion, it est "pffffffff..I do not bother but I say it in a friendly way"

This created an eartquake...the president of the co phoned my boss, my boss called me....and I learned about cultural differences *s*...I will never forget..

Methinks I would rather learn about cultural differences on the board here than from the president of my company.

Einar, I am willing to continue this negotiation if a thread of appropriate design is created. Let's do this by the book like gentlemen.
