Opponent Wanted for SPWW2

[Cross]

I'm looking for an opponent, preferably close to my time zone (EST, GMT -4:00) because more than one turn a day is then easier. But I'd consider more remote players.

Here's my prefs:

(Everything is negotiable)

1. WinSPWW2 – version 7.11

Hello Cross!
I can play with you, single game for beginning.
I live in Russia, and can do 2-10 turn a day, including night.

Your general prefs is OK for me, except for "32. No excessive use of Z-fire (area fire). Each unit can only use non-LOS z-fire once per turn". HMG's and MMG's units (only they) must have unlimited Z-fire, because it was his historical and main function. Besides they have restrictions in "19. No more than 1 MMG or HMG platoon per Infantry Company (unless co. came with more) "...

If you agreed with this small correction, lets play.

I want to play for Germans, August 1944. You will choose a map and other conditions like visibility. May be, slightly more battle points, 2500?

Hi Leo,

I agree that HMGs and MMGs can fire unlimited z-fire in our battle.

You are right that this was a historical and main function of MGs. My only reservation, from a historical standpoint, is that SP gives them too much ammo.

August 1944 it is.
As this battle is not a campaign, and there are no support points, I will use between 2500-2750 points

I will set up a battle and get it over to you when I can.

My compliments on your English, it is very good.


regards,
Cross

Well, 2500-2750 (even 3000) battle points is good for so big map and 20-23 turns durations.

I will set up a battle and get it over to you when I can.

One more wish. What about additional point of rules: 10% of battle points player may spend as any allied\captured equipment?

Waiting for set up file...

The large map size was an error.
I've used a much smaller map.
But this can be changed if you wish.
