Status: offline 		I find myself with time on my hands and would like to start a GC as the Allied player. I prefer WITP vanilla. HRs are open to discussion. I won't be doing an AAR this time around. If you're interested and willing to go the distance regardless of setbacks PM me.

if it is not a secret can you say what turned out to be unpassable obstacle in negotiations with Zecke (HRs, other issue)?
Also what is your expected pace of a game (how many turns a week)?

I'd rather not make what happened public. If you want you can PM me.

I'd be happy to increase the turn cycle to compensate

Status: offline 		A turn per week?!?!? No disrespect, but that would be a game that would never get done. Even if you went to 2 day turns you'd still need 3 turns per week to just cover 6 days. It would take almost 5 years to complete a game. 1 turn per week and you're talking over 10 years and between turns you'd forget what you were doing. Sorry, but that just wouldn't work.

Just out of interest - how much time each day do you need for each turn ?

Status: offline 		It depends on the amount of activity at that point in time and also how many units you have at your disposal. For instance early war for the Allies, after the the first couple of weeks, tends to go quickly. Later in the war when you're on the offensive and have many active units turns will take longer. I've had 10 minute turns and others have taken hours.
