    Default Looking for Different Kind of Multiplayer for Games

    Looking for new friends to play more casual games on line. I am an average player ( more like a noob) who is looking for other players like myself to play in friendly matches to practice and discuss better ways to improve our gaming skills. I think by playing and losing to a better player is fine but sometimes you are still lost as to what to do to improve. Playing different scenarios and then discussing what happened is not only fun but I believe makes a better player for on-line games.

    My name is Kayaker on NTW

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks, Do you have any games for just friends , that is closed games I could join so I could jump in rather than waiting to see your name again which might be just by chance. Thanks

    we tend to just host games and play whoever jumps on. we dont really play closed matches as the majority of HMG clan play very similar to each other or know each others play style so well that these games tend to end in stalemate as we cancel each other out.
    we do play alot of team games together which is wot we specialise in as a clan.

    I've seen your play on YouTube and I was very impressed by your expert play.

    I will send you an invite to join my group of friends. It would be great of you joined us and your knowledge of the game would make the chats that much better.

    I am Kayaker on Napol. Tot. War I have a good group of friends from clan players to some noobs who deserve a chance to learn the game.

    On another note - I have been talking to some great people at Tactical Gamer - Tman is the go to for NTW - they offer training on various Total War and reality Iraq war types of games - do you know this site and what do you think.

    Thanks, K

    I'm also an average player like yourself that's looking to play some friendly MP games to improve my skills, give me a shout back. We were out in Philly two years ago and toured the USS Olympia, a real nice walk back in time, is she still afloat?

    HEY nice to hear from you - that sounds great about playing - Yes the old Admiral Dewey's flagship hasn' sunk yet ( though the Phillies Did) LOL.


    What is your name on napoleon total war so I can add you to my friends list... My game name is Kayaker so if you want to add me as your friend it works either way. Here is a group that was just started that I belong to as well as most of my friends that I think you will like to join - we are all good friends and have nice chats and share good information. Just look it up on the Groups Site and join.
    As you can see it is called NTW Tactical Battles - you'll know you hit it when you see a little picture of a guy on a Kayak. LOL Look forward to hearing from you and we can set up a time to have a friendly tete a tete.

    This is the official site write up.

    NTW Tactical Battles is an informal group (not a clan) that organizes online battles that emphasize objectives and a definite attacker/defender (with corresponding decrease in unit strength if defending a strong position).

    Our focus is:
    1) Fun
    2) Realistic Scenarios
    3) Learning the game better
    4) Treating our fellow players well

    Anyone is welcome as long as they share these interests.

    http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ntwtacticalbattles

    Simply post or join a game if you want an invite- I will try as much as possible to set something up around 9pm Eastern Standard (US) Time on a somewhat regular basis or any group member can host a game of

    Hi: I joined your group - sounds great - I should be a granddad myself in a couple years ( 56 and getting younger LOL) - I am a big military history buff - used to play the AvHil games on the board maps with the dice when I was a kid. The directions used to take a week to figure out. LOL

    When would you like to play - what times (host with password I would suppose )We can use this site or email if you want to share addresses. I am usually good some afternoons and most nites on weekdays and usually afternoons and nites on weekends also(except when the Eagles play or its a big college game like Bama LSU this weekend). I am of course a PSU fan but I have always been a Wisconsin fan since I was a kid.

    I have a group I sent you an invite on, "NTW Tactical Battles", With most of the people just like us playing - mostly average who want to have a good time with only historically correct games - none of the "no art 5 lite max" stuff that the clans like to play and use "yours truly" and others for as guinea pigs to practice for their tournement matches. You notice how they are always trying to lure us into the Grassy Flats Games. LOL

    Anyway - check it out and read the credo for the group.

    I have been also playing Napoleonic Total War III the mod - it is really something - size of units, number of new countries, great maps and battle scenerios (for example you have to send scouts out many times to find the other army - so you can imagine how huge the battlefield is and how epic it looks from above - it is like watching the battle of Borodino on the USSR version of the movie war and peace. The mod people never put out good directions so I can help you through it if you are thinking of downloading.

    If you use TS let me now and we could use that also.

    anyway look forward to hearing from you. I will trade you a pound of cheese for a cheesesteak LOL

    thanks, Kayaker - that is my steam name and you can look me up there.

    Yeah AvH board games were also my favorite (57 years young), I still have one of them in the attic, they even made a couple of them into pc games back in the 90's, never got a chance to play any of them though. Thanks for the invite to your group, you can email me @davn33@yahoo and we can set up some times. We've been playing Empire TW with four older compters networked together, now with two of the computers updated we can move on to Napoleon TW. We play a lot of mp co-op, 2 of us vs 3 or 4 AI set on expert to make it a challenge. Looking forward to playing some "friendly" opponents, we can leave out the Grassy Flats stuff. I'll take you up on that cheesesteak, had to have one when we were in Philly back in 08, man their good Chat later

    Yo are you from Philly or just like the Phillies? If you are then we can share some good laughs. I don't think we ever connected as friends - I am going to be home tonite- in the meantime if you do - why don't you invite me - my name is Kayaker on NTW .

    By the way - I'm in a new group of players (not a clan) called NTW Tactical battles - check it out - it is by invite only - why - because this is a site that only wants to play historically correct battles - none of this 5 lites and no art stuff - or grassy battles where many times our clan brothers use the rest of us for target practice. LOL Nah - there not that bad - just fun to get in a few digs. LOL

    So it's up to you - I play pretty frequently - I have been away for a week or so trying out Napoleonic Total War III - wow is that cool !

    Talk to you later - for now just right back on this site.. K

    ascd...

    My humblest apologies - I should talk since - I am Knife to the side on this site and Kayaker on the other site... Just terrible - I am so old I am losing my memory - How did you come up with the name underworld 965?

    I am trying to get to the group leader shr speedhead to see what's going on with the group and what are planned for playing times? He said 9 on Saturday nites - If I can get him on STM or Tota Wr Forms (Which he uses) I will ask him and let you know. We should play - so pick some times and let me know Too.

    Underworld is generally the name I use on steam, but I haven't really been on much lately and just changed it to something random! Its after those movies, vampires vs lycans
