@trulpen no scarmble

@snigg awesome - thank you so much!

@farmboy Thank you very much for the warm welcome and the explanations! :-)
I will most likely try my luck OOB tonight. BM sounds interesting indeed, and I will get myself educated in that regard. First, I need to figure out how PBF works. Is there any explanation page on how to set-up or join a game? Cheers, Martin

@hypoaf thanks for the advice. I have played many times online against one and the same friend, and I hope to find other opponents here. I will try the forum anyway. But in general I agree with you - from what I understand, online will go quicker. On the other side: I always play 3-4 hours in Friday evenings and save the game to continue the following Friday. Like that, a match usually lasts for two to three Fridays. In extreme cases it also took a few weeks which is I guess is quite close to the forum matches ;-)

@aequitas-et-veritas Vielen Dank! :-)

@trulpen Hi Trulpen,

That was quick :-) If this week Friday or Saturday 10pm CEWT suits you, it’s a deal :-)
Where are you located?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi guys (and girls?),

I am new here and look for an opponent for G40 OOB (without weapon’s development). Having played about 15-20 times, I guess I am inbetween beginner and medium. So far I have only been playing against one friend of mine, and I lost most of the games which is both frustrating and unfair! I don’t have to explain the frustration part. But it is also unfair, as it was me who taught him the game… TripleA hard AI has no chance against me, and my friend is regularly killing me…

In any case I prefer playing one-on-one games. And for more informatio about me: I learned A&A during my year as an exchange student in Oregon in 1988/89. In 1992, my parents visited NY and brought me the original game as a souvenir! Love them! :-) I used to play during high school and university, and then I had like a near to 20 year break. I discovered G40 and TripleA around two years ago and fell in love - of course ! :-)

Besides that, I already spent a fortune on HBG pieces and spent weeks painting the pieces. And for Christmas I finally got my 3D printer!

I have a time constraint which will hopefully not be an obstacle for finding another mate to play:

Being a family father living in Germany, I can only play on weekend evenings which basically means Fridays and Saturdays from 10pm to 2am CEWT. I guess this would make it an afternoon/early evening match for people in the US.

It would also be great to participate in the 2021 league! I am just uncertain if this works with OOB, or if I should learn how to play BM3. Any advice is welcome! :-)

I am looking to get a request for this or next Friday evening (European time) or an invitation for the league :-)

In any case I wish you all the best for 2021!

Best regards,
Martin
