rjopel and I have been playing for over three years. I believe next month will be three on the current campaign. We started one and both of us made terrible mistakes, me with the Japanese economy and him with the allied carriers. By April 1942 we determined it would be better to chalk it up to lessons learned as it was the first pbem for both of us and start over. We started with the 8 Dec scenario and have had a steady campaign through three deployments of Ryan, a major surgery on me and other family/friend issues. I have had the opportunity to know Ryan beforehand to know that he is a good gamer, like myself. This is the best way to find an opponent, get a friend involved! A gamer with simular likes to yours would be a good "target"! [:D] I have also played in another campaign which was a mistake for me as playing two full campaigns took up too much of my time and my play was suffering in each. This one ended with a capitulation in April 1942. I do not feel my opponent in this case to be giving up to give up, but that it would be a waste of both our's time to continue as the game was going to go a long time before the Allies would be able to do anything of importance. I am currently involved with a 3x2 Allied x Japan game that is progressing 3-4 turns a week, which is all you can expect for having five people involved. It is interesting to play just 1/3 of the game and have to rely on the skill of someone else to progress the war elsewhere. Lots of fun there. Anyways, don't give up. Starting with players that post here are a good option or even asking privately some of the more experienced and calmer voices here if they know about a certain player is OK, I am sure they won't mind. I have received PMs from them in the past warning me of trolls and I am sure they will help in the other direction. Sorry, to answer your question before you ask, sadly, I have a family, a job, and other things that prevent me from playing more than what I have on my plate now. Yeah, I know it is a poor excuse, but it is what it is. I wish you luck in finding a good opponent. The suggestion to learn the Japanese side is good as you can find plenty of allied players.
