Looking for an opponent

Hello, I'm looking for a PBEM opponent to play either side in the grand campaign with me (1861 - 1865 with Kentucky). You can write in this thread, or write me an email, if you're interested.
We'd be playing with some modest house rules:
We'd be playing with some modest house rules:
July 1861 W Kentucky
Fog of war: Yes
Activation rule: High (note that this means you can't move a unit at all if it isn't activated). Much more realistic, IMHO.
Randomized Generals: No
Naval Box Handling: Standard
Redeployment: None
Delayed Commitment: Medium Delay
Foreign Entry: Normal
Historical Attrition: Historical
House rules (from the Longshakes Citizen X AAR) to promote historical realism
HOUSE RULES (2)
Historical (or Limited) Recruiting: Both sides are Vols only throughout 61. On the Late Dec61 Turn, the CSA player may go to either Full or Partial Mob'lz. The USA player waits one Turn to see what the CSA did. If the CSA goes with Partial (or does nothing), the USA must stick with Vols until June62 and then, at that point, may go with Partial for the rest of 62. If the CSA goes Full, the USA may go to Partial (and may only go Partial for the rest of 62). In 63, the gloves are off. SMACK!
Raiding: Stacks of any size may always be in:
1. their own controlled territory (anywhere, determined by presence of control flag) or
2. home territory (CSA states or Union states), or
3. within 3 regions of another one of their own stacks of 4 or more command points, or
4. in KS, MO, KY, WV, MD or DE (the border states).
Units that are anywhere else are "raiders" and must contain a leader and units totalling at least 4 command points.
