2 out of 3 games are on hold right now

Looking for a balanced mod game with tier E or tier 1
I will consider tier 2 offer if no tier E or tier 1

I am looking to make 10-20 moves this week, so if you can do that, I’m interested in playing you

@Giallo:

looking for one or two bm3 games

You don’t want to play me?

[gamerman01]

It looks like Oysteilo will play me, so not looking for another game anymore

[Giallo]

Sure i’ll play, let me know when you got time for a new game

[majikforce]

Looking for another game.  PM me.  I’ll play whatever.

Looking for a BM game

[JuanSpain]

I don´t know were Lou is, while he appears I can start with the next opponent for this year.

At this point I am happy to play vs any Tier E or M. BM3, no bid, Axis or switch sides. I can move quickly during the next 3 weeks. Post me if interested.

[JuanSpain]

No Tier M or E up for the game?

[gamerman01]

I’m at my limit currently

@Gamerman01:

Thanks for the answer Gamer.

Adam posted me, he will be the opponent.

I will let you know guys when I have room again.

[gamerman01]

Glad you got a game you wanted

You’re most welcome

I guess it’s my turn to jump into the shark tank. During the next few months I have quite a bit of free time (being a tutor has its benefits). and read the post on how to setup play by forum games by  whackamatt

I would prefer to play Global 1940  with a bid than balanced mod for reasons of practicality if possible.

Game vs Lou finished before it was expected.

I am able to start vs the next opponent. Tier M or E. BM3. No bid, Axis or switch sides please.

Post me if interested.

Welcome.

What are the ‘‘reasons of practicality’’?

Learning an entire new ruleset would compound the number of errors I make, I’d rather play with a bid than try to remember rules like the chinese rules and all the rules related to the new National objectives such as the japanese lend lease rules (does a japanese sub in sea  zone 80 stop russian lead lease if japan is not in war with russia? and how much lend lease does it prevent?) Marines and their complications with kamikaze tokens and how they complicate Seaborne invasions. The Changes to existing national objectives make certain common tactics that are ingrained in me like rushing Iraq with the soviet union no longer good.

Plus bidding is a cool mechanic that shows interesting strategy and gameplay. You can do quite a bit with a bid,

[Adam514]

It’s not an entirely new ruleset, over 90% is exactly the same.

A Japanese sub would not prevent the Lend-Lease Russian NO f not at war with Russia aince Japan is neutral to Russia.

Indeed bidding is an interesting mechanic, but between experienced players the bid needs to be huge and entire areas like the Mediterranean become uninteresting. And some people feel like BM requires a bid too.

[JuanSpain]

Given you are a new player, you can enjoy 2nd edition/vanilla for a long time until you realize it is easy to win with Axis and very hard with Allies, so a huge bid is required.

An A&A balanced game makes more sense, it is just that global is so complex that needed a lot of testing to find out how unbalanced it was (what for me is a desing mistake).

On BM you can enjoy playing both sides as you learn, and you will be learning the version of the game that is capturing more attention as most players play a lot in Vanilla and reach the same conclusion.

A&A is fun anyway and you will find players for both, up to you, just wanted to share an opinion.

The compromise we’ve agreed on its to play with the BM sbr rules. That will change things significantly towards BM anyway.
