I am a new PBEM CM2 player.  Just wondering if there are any suggestions out there from experienced PBEM players on how to get the best experience out of PBEM play?  Also I noticed in one of Usually Hapless's videos that he had reached an agreement in a quick battle to  limit TRPs and no artillery in setup zones.  Are there any particular inadvertent options that should be avoided in order to keep games reasonably balanced and fun.  Any insights appreciated.

If you are inexperienced, start with a small scenario, one or two platoons on each side, maybe with a few supporting weapons like a tank or two etc. 

House rules:

Avoid air power.

No bombardment of oppo's set-up positions during the set-up turn.  (Or avoid artillery altogether until you are comfortable with basic tactics.)

Balance is very hard to achieve.  Best to not worry about it and regardless of what the victory screen says you can decide for yourself if you did well.

Looks like it is going to be Sachenhausen.  That is a medium scenario but it is a meeting engagement which means, hopefully, it is reasonably balanced for H2H play.  So just going in to get my feet wet and I have played some medium scenarios.  So I don't think the size will be too big.
