After putting the game down for a few years I'm getting that itch again...I am sure I am a bit rusty so would prefer an opponent that is intermediate level. We can discuss game settings once someone agrees to a game. Shooting for a turn a day at most, at least three turns a week. Dedicated opponent willing to stick out tough situations until a clear winner presents itself. I'd prefer a server game with password but I can do pbem if you really wish. Steam just makes server games easy.

Some settings though:
Non-Random Weather, Locked HQ, Full FOW, No para drops, Better CV Math

I am looking for an soviet opponent. I have fought the AI several times, so it seems time to get into the ral game.... I played the GC, "to the bitter end", on basis settings. Am open to anything, as I don't know the effects, and their consequences on pbem, anyway�

I am afraid it has to be PBEM, as I keep having problems with the automated challenge system - it keeps rejecting my password. (I have had it reset twice already, but after functioning for a while, it starts acting up again).

If you guys need a 2nd Soviet opponent for a separate game, PM me. I am of intermediate skill myself.

I think no supplies to partisans too early might be a good house rule as well?

Unfortunately I can only do one game at a time. I tried the multi game thing years ago and my gameplay suffers tremendously. Perhaps my opponent is up for it though. It might be do-able once we get to like 1942 or later as the admin and tasks go down in number, but that will be a bit of time.

I disagree with that partisan rule though. You'd have to make the Soviet reserve all his transport aircraft, not really fair in my opinion.

Only Level bombers and transports set to night missions will fly supplies.

Looking for a game, or two:

I guess I am an advanced intermediate haven't had too much problem with other intermediates. Not saying it wasn't fun,

If the first game goes well maybe we can switch sides and replay.

Be glad to take on a big dog. You name the house rules. I am sure they will be fine. I have no interest in optimizing play to take advantage of game design.

Hi sam, sorry, the game was filled weeks ago but good luck finding an opponent.
