Old player but all is new to me again

Hi all, Played the original titles many years ago. Getting back into CM with the 4 engine. Just recently joined FGM.

I prefer small to medium games to start.

I have the 4 WWII titles. Happy to try any. Can usually get 2 - 4 turns a day. I am in Australia so I guess the time zone will affect the cadence.

Regards

Hans
 
Welcome Hanbo!
As you have probably gathered CM2 is not CM1.
 
Thanks for the Welcome.

To be honest, I played so long ago it's hard to remember the differences. But I have been playing with a mate via PBEM (about 10 games) and I want to branch out to some more competition
 
Hey mate, I am up in Townsville. I am an old player, but dont do much PBEM. I would like to have a go at a mirror match, where we can chose the make up of the sides. I have all the titles, so contact me if you are interested. Cheers
 
Hi Hanbo,
I am in Melbourne and could possibly fit another game in if you don't find another player. Currently in three but one is finishing soon and one is in hiatus.

I have a preference for scenarios at the moment, although I play both mirror QB and scenarios. Saves me time with force selection :)

I have all the CM games and expansions and am happy for you to choose any game, scenario and side you prefer. (I have only played very few of them). Let me know if you are interested.
I can usually manage a turn a day unless I am caught up with work or "Toddler duties".

I played CM 1 for many years and loved it and only recently got into CM2 when lockdown started.

Cheers

Sounds good mate. Couple of cane toads fighting it out. Have not done a mirror match before. If you want to set it up sounds interesting. I'll try anything if you have the patience for me making dumb tactical errors' :)

If we do it via dropbox or email my email is hansvanderdrift@gmail.com

Im happy to do a game whenever that suits you. If you want to set anything up (not sure of the protocols) feel free to add me via email or dropbox at hansvanderdrift@gmail.com
 
Had some spare time and have created a shared dropbox folder and sent the first file which to just set up your password.

Looks great, if you want to set up a game with the above set of conditions let's start. I'm asking you to setup as i am new to most of the game and have only played preset scenarios so far. I have been using the app "Whose turn is it" and I am comfortable with that.

I have all the WWII games so happy with any title. I would prefer a medium battle so I don't get overwhelmed.

If we are using dropbox my email is hansvanderdrift@gmail.com

Thanks

Questions from the setup conditions.

"Medium battle

Defender : maximum 700 points on Tanks,Tank Destroyers and Assault guns
Attacker : maximum 1300 points on Tanks,Tank Destroyers and Assault guns"

Do you just self-limit yourself or is this set up somewhere?

When selecting a force (eg US, German, Italy etc) can it be anyone? For eg USA vs USA?

What is the time setting?

And for the mirror game #2. Do you keep the same force as game #1. Eg If I selected USA for game 1 as the attacker do I need to select USA as the defender for game #2?

And both games are one the same map correct?

its self limiting, no in -game tools . dont worry if u miss couple tens of points

well we 'd arrange who plays who before we start. u can tell me now who u want to play as and what ww2 theatre would u preffer. if u have no prefferencs i d like germans in any title

time setting should be no more than 1 hour for medium and 1h15 for large i think , but i m open for suggestions

about mirror games; if u pick germans , u attack and defend as germans. unless u want to make it the other way
