Reactivation/ opponents wanted

[Leo]

Leo,

It is most probable that you are a genius at SPWW2 and this would explain my catastrophic
defeats at your hands so please do not take offense at my desire to understand how you do it.
I have suffered many losses at the Blitz ladder and like you care more for the thrill of gaming
against a worthy opponent than I do for the ladder standings.

I have been playing Steel Panthers for nearly 20 years and although I
consider myself only an average player I am highly experienced and have learned what to expect
when doing battle with my internet opponents. When I was gaming with the venerable CROSS
here at the Blitz I also recieved defeats from him that were catastrophic but during play
I could understand how he was doing it. When I battle against you it is inexplicable how my forces
collapse and melt away with nearly no fight in them and I do not understand how this is so, therefore it
is my wish to eliminate possible causes to my tactical plight bearing in mind that the cause may
be as simple as that of doing battle against an SP master.

Genius or no, I like clear play with experienced opponents. I play Steel Panthers since 1995 too. I have no any gameplay secrets and I always can clear, how I do some things and methodics. If you don't understood something, simply ask me, and I will explain (with my poor English). I'm interested that my opponents plays good and they have all arsenal of non-cheating tricks and "secrets".

What you not understood in our last games? What was strange?

A short time ago I play my first game with CROSS. Strong, clever opponent. I got minor defeat (almost draw). Why not? If you lose, it doesn't mean that I'm invincible.

I look forward to our coming battle and will suggest that the troop experience level be raised to 80
reflecting the veteran status of our forces and also to ensure that our troops can rally against the
expected devastation of Z FIRE attack.

Ok, I like it. 80 exp. both players!

Your other settings, including the infantry Z Fire rule, are acceptable with the exception of unlimited Z FIRE range. I suggest that only indirect fire arty have unlimited range and all other units have a 10 hex limit excluding infantry which cannot Z Fire at all. MGs and HMGs can Z fire but only up to 10 hexs.

No-no, I can't agree with your 10-hexes rule. I already wrote above, why. With 7500 points I will be crazy after couple of turns, attempting counts to check 500 meters limit for each unit, which I wishes Z-fire.

Also, it historically strange. In reality MMGs and especially HMGs easy can do an effective suppression fire (Z-fire in our game) over 1000 meters and it was it's main function. What simulates your 500-meters rule? Dropping of heavy bullets after 500 meter?

1. We can play without any Z-fire restriction, as I like.
2. As a compromise, we can play with my Z-fire rule, which ban Z-fire ability for Infantry.
But I can't accept your brain-cracking and discomfort 10-hexes rule. Play this rule without me, please.

Note that all arty must be on map.

No matter. I never purchase OFF-map arty, but not fear opponent OFF-map arty.
