Depends on factors. Skill level. Little tricks learned about the game engine. Does Vonik have a print out of the Scripts. Yes, it will be months since PBEM started so recently to know the player vs player balance.

I am playing Irish Guard as Allied too :)
Well when I say playing, it is more waiting because this guy does something like one turn per week . If that ....
I suspect that he actually doesn't even know what games and with whom he is playing .

And no, I have not a print out of the scripts .
I hate tinkering with settings - if the developpers didn't balance it enough, players touching at that would only make a hopeless mess with bias all over the place .
What leads me to the question - when somebody sets up a PBEM, is it possible for him to change the scripts and settings while his opponent doesn't know what has been changed ?

No, once you start a campaign Vonik you're locked into it and all the settings and scripts that are there. Also there would be issues if your scripts didn't match their's I imagine causing all sorts of of imbalances. Anyways, anyone who programs that well and wastes it on a PBEM game is in serious need of a job.

IrishGuard may be slow but I am not. A lot of time on my hands I suppose and I have begun to learn the mechanics of the game engine. I had some overconfidence as Allies against a guy(was it Purger) I think it was. He mowed me down in Russia like fresh cut grass. That's after it took him till nearly October to defeat my French Defense. In the old Strategic Commands a game sometimes could be decided in France!

I hope to max out German Research pre-1940! Or close enough, it's an old Strategic Command tradition for the Axis giving them the tech edge till about 1943 in most fields that matter. Honestly the game is usually over before American Tech really is decisive but we will see what you got!
