Hi,

Are there any experienced players willing to play a 3,000 point battle to help me get better with using armour?

I can probably only take a game or two more at most right now, but I'd love to line up future opponents too.

Thanks.

I appear to have some room for a game...
set something up and send it. any type, time or terms...
If you want a mostly armor battle let me know ahead of time, as I tend to pick more of a mixed force usually.

Hmm none of my bizness but 3000 seems a bit big..
I think you could learn the basic tactics much faster from a series of small fast-moving battles (say 6 x tanks per side) rather than one long one..
Contact me if you want to roll with a small trainer and i'll talk you through every turn..

pthh... 3000 pts means most of an inf bat plus some support tanks... a good definative attacking force needs more than that... besides it also allow you to f-it up and still try to recover, which is a good training experience too...
I ended up having to be a brit force with less than 900some pts in tanks... thats 2 plts (sherms are around 500pts a plt at quality)...

Thanks POS, I'll take you up on that I think. Small scale with you and larger scale with Bluehand might also be a good training experience.

Would you rather start over with a bigger points limit then? I went for 3,000 as that's the biggest I've done so far, but I'm willing to go bigger if you like.
