Need Another Opponent, Please

RE: Need Another Opponent, Please
I'm about to patch my WW2. I'm on hold in MBT because of the range filter bug. I only have one WW2 game going and we are far enough along so we can negotiate the results if the Patch blows up the saved games I'm sorta mentoring my opponent and already know the game will be a draw.
I'm good with Italian. French might be better then British. some time in '49 so you get the M13/40, which isn't a great tank but has a gun that will kill.
I have no idea what my ELO is. I gave up on ladders after the Leadeaters debacle back in '96 (or '98. Memory is the second thing to go).
I seldom use the z key en' mass. It is a poor substitute for tactics. I don't mind if my opponent does. Z key never kills but it does give away the position and numbers of my opponent. Free recon. I use the Z key in a historical manner, MG's mostly. Just to help see ambushes. I don't do marching fire. Generals like marching fire but they didn't have to do it.
May, 1940. M/E on map 086. More or less typical European terrain. That is a 100 by 100 map, IIRC. How big a battle are you comfortable with? Jagdpanther taught me to like those 500 unit battles. I do have one current requirement. I recently played someone that was 'adjusting' the Experience levels of my troops. Not a Blitz player and I didn't think the OOB could be done like that but there it was. I had Spetzna with Experience levels of approximately -20 instead of plus 20. Maybe he used a poke command to change the plus to a minus. Anyway, I like to play with country training off. The country training tables were built off Dunnigan's "How to Make War", second edition, which was published in '82. The later editions have changed (adjusted?) those tables as more data became available. Since Experience is the most critical number in the game, the less vapor involved the better. So I propose setting country training off and then training to 50 or 60.
