I never asked any of my opponents in PBEM to restrict thier purchase in any way ... this is a long time running thread over many threads ...OK I have made fun of my oponents that wanted to fight US/Brits v Germans in July and August 43 or wanted to use Panthers at Salerno, stuff like that .. but I never said they couldn't ..
I have agreed in the past to play with 10 and 15% arty limits or limited air .. or even with equal Air ( like that happened alot in late '44) ..But I think most folks who agree to some others players limits, and ask for none themselves , if they were actually honest, would tell you they only do it to cut down on the whining and the lame excuses that are offered to excuse the high losses and rediculiously unbalanced scores that happen when PBEM'ers try and rely on limiting their opponent instead of trying to actually learn to play well.
I mean are you going to play stud poker or are ya gonna play 7's wild and first face card after the 2nd delt 9 is wild and you can use clubs as spades or hearts as diamonds if you have a pair to make it a flush ?
I think what really needs to be done in negotiations is for the russians to get to set Armor v armor at 150 and armor v infantry at 150 and the germans need to agree to set thier Armor v armor to about 60 and armor v infantry to about 50 to balance out that annoying advantage that Tigers have over BT-5's ..that would make it a lot more fun for the russian player and it would be politically correct too and save folks the trouble of having to learn Russian tactics so they can play and win ...
geeze louise ..oh and lets make all the moral and experience ratings exactly the same and by all means turn off national characteristics so it is fair and balanced .. that way total lack of understanding of a particular nations tactics won't be a handicap and everybody can use any tactics they want or happen to have seen on TV and they might work ... cuz we all know only tanks kill tanks and you can't do anything about stoping nasty evil arty .. and if you use battlefield deception it is gaming .. but if you exploit the smoke signature of firing arty that you couldn't see in real life thats not gaming ..that cool tactics .. LOL gawds
