But would you play one against a total stranger that HE claims is "balanced"? I don't know. I might. It would depend on what it was. I'm more interested in studying history than I am in winning a game. If it seemed to be an honest attempt to model some situation I found interesting, I might try it, especially if it was of limited scope. Examples might be Inoue's operations in the south pacific in January-March 42, which resulted in the capture of Rabaul, Lae and Salamaua, but which also saw the destruction of Rabaul's Betty group by Lexington as well as Wilson Brown's transmontaine strike against the landings at Lae/Salamaua. What if Sho and Zui had been sent to Truk six weeks sooner than they were, and IJA had shaken loose two or three regiments instead of just the 144th? Or maybe one for March-April 42 that covered the Indian Ocean operation, studying the possibility of using the IJA units then at sea on their way to Rangoon, to try to take Ceylon instead. Something like this I would consider. But some custom scenario covering the whole war, where anything and everything might possibly be rejiggered? No chance....
