Hi

Would be interested in a game. I too prefer limited house rules and an historical game style - staying away from tactics that I feel would never have been done.

The only house rule I general insist on is needing to pay PP to cross borders for restricted unites. The exceptions I like is to allow some Chinese in Burma and the Thai army to be allowed to operate in Burma.

I can do a turn a day most days, on my weekend I might be able to do more (I have a 3 day weekend and the work days are longer hours). FYI, I live in Sydney so Australasian Eastern Standard Time.

Good luck Hotei,

I almost replied to try a game with you, but would not have been able to play a turn per day. However, i'm really glad you found an Allied opponent already.

You will be very happy with Brian's BMOD. I've followed his work since the old WITP days, and you won't be disappointed. Brian has immense attention to detail, and in producing a realistic game.

It doesn't have the OOB bells and whistles of DBB or BTS, but if you want basic Stock, but with realistic combat results, and in this case, a very strict, and meaningful Japan-China war, then this mod is for you.

I will follow your AARs big time. It's so good to see people pick up BMOD. It deserves much attention.

The payment of PP is something I agree also, this mod gives you more points anyways so you should get to move your units much more.

The mod is familiar to you?
I have zero experience with the allied side so I dont know if my settings are even fair with PDU on as the Japanese air starts stronger.
I would never try to offer bad terms on purpose.

I can most likely go over one turn per day trough the year but there are times that the game might need to wait for some days.
I will get even more time for gaming and other hobbies near the end of this year and in to the next.
But in general I dont feel any pressure to finish the game in some record time, this is my first so it is also a learning process.

Have you played many PBEMs?

My brief look at the scenario did show high pilot skills for Japan. and I have no idea how that will turn out, gives you a distinct starting edge and I am ok with that. I did not check out the pool sizes, so not sure if that makes a difference.


I agree about the pace, you can easily overload yourself and real life also needs some time spent on it.

I have played, maybe 6 or 7 PBEM's. The last one was a smaller scenario - modified Guadalcanal. Nothing for a year or so due to computer issues.
