Hi all, Haven't visited here in ages and was surprised to find it a ghost town; a bit sad really. CEAW was a great game, although it suffered from the concern about reload/cheating in the PBEM. Anyway, I really appreciated the strategic aspect of the game; WW2 is fine, but I would like any period so...

One moderately experienced (~10 games vs. opponents) wanted - I play casually, so not great and never played 4.0. PM me...

Thank you for the very thoughtful response Stauffenberg. Sounds like many of the issues I brought up, the game developers were aware of and have made efforts to remedy. You've also given some interesting food for thought re strategies. E.g., I haven't made much use of CVs in my games as allies, so I...

Any considerations to reducing the ARM bonuses or to reducing the impact of unit XP? ARM bonuses seem excessive to the point of making ARM units pretty much useless by '43, and XP in 3.1 seems to create unrealistic super-units.

3.1 is an improvement over earlier versions IMO, but I think there are still some important imbalances in it. There are 3 in particular - I'd be interested in hearing others' opinions: 1) ARM units are of ~ no use. In all 3.1 games I've played, they get absolutely mauled by TACs by ~41-42. E.g., two...

Yes, allowing him to get a toehold in Scottland has been by far my biggest mistake of the game thus far. I should have been patrolling the north atlantic but I'd pulled several subs back to base for upgrades and had taken my SAR from the airbase there to help scout in Russia, so it was really just l...

Well, I now agree with the Richardsd who said a successful sealion doesn't mean you will win as Axis. So it is now April of '43. I sealed the Mediterranean and took Iraq, so it seemed like I was in great shape. I launched Barbarossa in '42 but given how spread thin I was it was a weak launch. I trie...

I think all the advice here has been quite useful. The game is still ongoing, but here's what has happened (it is now Jan 42) and my thoughts on it: 1) US joined late, in Jan. 3 UK DDs destroyed by subs (they got trapped in the St. Lawrence river) and some convoys taken, but those days are going to ...

Hi all, I'm playing as Axis in a standard (39+) v3.0 scenario against an opponent who is a better player than I am. However, he made a major mistake early (launched an early attack on Italy to knock it out of the war at the start and barely failed to succeed). With loss of one Axis BB, I destroyed 1...

I would play you, v2.10. It would be my first PBEM game. I've only played the AI, which is terrible. I can't say I'm great at all the game mechanics, but I'd give you as good a fight as possible. ~1 turn per day, sometimes less if I'm traveling. Let me know if you're interested... I'd prefer to play...
