My work prevents me from having the PBEM load that I would like, but, with Xmas break coming up, I've got some long awaited PBEM time coming my way. Any opponents welcome--from newbies to grizzled veterans. I'd love to hear your scenario suggestions, or give any of the following a try:

Balkans 12
Mons 14
Finnish Civil War 1918
Tobruk 41
Two Weeks in Normandy
Korea 50-51
The Next War Tension
Red Thunder 88

Do understand though that after the new year rolls around my turns per week will dramatically decrease, but until then I'll be drinking hot buttered rum, playing PBEM, and doin' this dance:

:banana:

IF you're looking to play Mons 1914 you might sign up as an alternate in the Blitz WWI competition- it's the subject (?!) of the last round. Siberian HEAT is running it. There's been a number of dropouts recently so chances of it happening may be good.

I'm in much the same boat so a game over Christmas would be ideal.
Have you ever tried 'Tet 1968', it's only 15 turns long so a turn a day would work out Ok. It's very big with a lot of units and plenty for both sides to do. Interested?

I really donīt recommend the scenario. Lot of space which emphasizes asymmetry between player 1 and 2, huge negative shocks for U.S. player during early part of the game, then no replacements for Viet Cong to assure that U.S. forces get victory with total air supremacy (enhanced interdiction!).

Well, based on what the Sheik said, I'd love to take you on as the US :D

Seriously, drop me a line via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out.

Happy to try any, I've just played Balkans 12 and will be playing Mons soon in the tournament at TheBlitz. It looks like my team will need a replacement as well - you may want to drop in there !

Drop me an e-mail if you're still interested. I will be more available after Friday 20th.

No problem with a longer scenario if it slows down later - my turn-round times can be variable during work time.
