Status: offline 		I've stumbled upon this game in the last couple of months and, after 30 years of wargaming, 20 years of that on the computer, am astonished by how much I am enjoying it. Trouble is, no one seems to be playing this one any more. I have got AE, but to be frank, although I acknowledge (and admire) the detail and sophistication of the engine, it's too much into the micromanaging for my taste. Humans being fallible and we all having real life to contend with, the player who takes the most pains will win, which is not my ideal idea of a game.

I'm looking for a scenario 15 campaign with someone who wants to play the Allies. HR to be discussed, but I have a bias towards fewer rather than more.

I know this is a big commitment and reading the AARs obviously there's reasonable rounds why an Allied player wants to know the Japanese guy is going to be around to take his medicine. As I say, I have played a lot of war games. I am a member of on-line clubs, one for more than 10 years and am happy to provide references. I am presently in a PBEM, which is at 4/42. I am confident I can turn around an average of 1 turn per day.

Status: offline 		There's probably a small amount of us here but maybe others have the same problem as me, not enough time.
I'm deep in a game as Japan right now (March -43) and I just can't start another one. I would love to be Allied as I'm starting to take a beating and the future doesn't look too bright

I was tempted but realized that my wife would be a much more dangerous opponent than you could ever be so I resisted.

I'm sorry

Status: offline 		well I am out here but already playing two campaign games. one is about 6 turns a month (now in 1-apr-42), the other is about 8-16 turns a week (now in 18-Jul-42). In addition, I play a number of boardgames in pbem ladders/tournaments. As much as I would like to play another game, I would really like to see a game make it into mid 1943 where my allies can fight something other than defense. In reality, the commitment of time exceeds what I have available.

The player pool is limited, the size of the obligation of game play is large, many moved to AE, player attrition (real life issues, etc), and commitment is a real issue for a multi-year timeframe for a game. I always found playing AE pointless as there is no social interaction, AE does not adapt.

Status: offline 		Don't know if I'd call myself a JFB. I haven't played enough to have established a preference. Other games, I've been happy enough to play either side. I started playing as Japan in answer to a game wanted note, from someone called Tocaff.
