Tiny battle size. Any config works for me.

Im in the middle of my first H2H game. I've played 3ish games against AI (which I hate) in order to learn the mechanics.
i do have a dropbox. david.chapuis at aerowebtechnology dot com
Something tiny, not fully in a city. I havent played any scenarios, so we can do one of those if you were wanting to play one blind with me.

scenarios would kinda be unfair to u.....i have played them all from both sides..........
i would play a tiny quick battle with u.....you would have to select you own forces... it is very easy to do....
if your ok with that.. i will set one up for us...... would u want to attack or defend?

I’d rather do a tiny ME
ok.....i am cool with that....any preference for nation.....type of force.... terrain....anything
Not a city.
What are normal “agreements†concerning air power, pre planned bombardments, TRPs, etc?
I’ve seen and completely agree with no Bombardments of deployment zones

well i like a slightly different set of house rules for attack/defend games and for meeting engagements
for meeting engagements in order to keep with the spirit of what a meeting engagement is (2 forces running into each other at an uncertain location) the following rules make sense to me
1- no pre planned arty.......because if u dont know where and when u will be running into enemy how do u know where and when to drop arty on him
2- pre-planned air is ok.....must be agreed if can start on turn 1 or one of the later times ....... if turn 1 must not be near setup zone... anything goes if starts on later turns (drones start anywhere)... my thinking being an officer planning this operation might want air support to "scout" ahead of his ground forces
3- no trps's again 2 forces running into each other at unkown place and time
4- set up zones become a free fire zone starting on minute 6 or if an enemy unit is firing out of set up zone
those are my preferred house rules but i am flexible on them if u wanna change something or have something further to add ...i usually will not play against the americans without some further agreements but since your new to this i am thinking of giving you the US and me taking the russians ....... i will set something up and send it to u in the next couple hours
you will find there are 2 types of opponents... talkers and non-talkers.... i am an ole country boy so i will talk your ears off... or am just as happy to let u alone..... but i remember when i was just starting to play h2h i had about a million and one questions.... if you have any feel free to shoot them my way.... i happy to help if i can............. you will also find players who will finish games and those who will turn ghost on you......so u will find starting with somebody new your better off with small battles with short time limits.... that way if they go ghost on you... then u dont have much time invested in it....if you both turn or to be finishers... great!! when u find them hang on to them..... sometimes they are hard to find

ok i set us up... force size is tiny map is med or large......i dont want to sound like a know it all...but it is a popular opinion that i share then when selecting quick battles that you should play at least 1 map size above your force size.... in the modern titles... the equipment is so fast... and so lethal that you will generally need the extra elbow room otherwise it can feel like a shotgun fight inside of a phone boothe... i am also unsure if you know the pecking order in black sea.... US is best army in game.. the Russia then Ukraine..... the thing is the gap between the US to Russia.. is a much bigger gap between the 2nd and 3rd best.... though Russia in game are a clear notch above... but the Americans are a freaking beast to play against.... their tanks see better and faster .... their crews shoot straight .. their ammo kills.....russian tanks will typically make the spot slower.. shoot and miss on occasion and depending on a number of factors but a lot of times a direct hit will not knock out an american tank.. the bradly sits way above the bmp3... in spotting.... and amour is tougner.... the chain gun shoots faster........the stryker is under gunned but spots great runs fast........ like i said i usually wont play angainst the without some speical extra house rules.....but you being new..... i will take a shot at them
I’m good with rules 1-4. Looked at the map, and that seems good. We are doing a small ME on a small map, and it is a bloodbath. This will definitely allow for maneuver.
Hopefully I can give you a challenge. Thanks for setting up.
Might take me a day or 2 to select a force. But I play fast once we get going.

ok take your time...... and believe me ... i am not very good.....but i do have a few years playing......
do u have any of the other titles...... i have cold war.. shock force2 with all add ons... and battle for normandy with all add ons
ask u one more thing.....what was it about this game that drew your attention...for me i stumbled across some youtube videos... and i had always been interested in the military......... thing is this type of game never really interested me...and seeing somebody just start a game of this would never have hooked me....but the videos were a cinamatic over-view of different battles... with good explanations of equipment and tactics usually about 20 minutes long...........
little did i know that the 90 minute game he just showed me took him and whoever he was playing against the better part of 2 months to play.......
it is a very different game playing against a person and against the A.I. but playing against the A.I. will get you more experience alot quicker...playing against people in general..... if u can find people that will average sending you 1 turn a day.. they you have a pretty solid person to play with...
i usually have around 4 h2h games going and one of the campaigns going .... our game actually made my 5th.... but one of my other ones will end soon and to be honest ... i like playing with new people .. because i like to help them out if they need anything .. i know i had a million and a half questions and at the time nobody to ask and a hell of a time finding understandable answers to them... when they are really new i care less about winning then i do about getting a good game and positive experience for them........ dont get me wrong i will slaughter every one of your pixeltruppen if i can...lol.....
as i said i am a country boy and will talk your ears off....... dont hesitate to ask anything u need
