Looking for a PBEM opponent

Hi guys,

I spent the best part of two hours yesterday carefully setting up a Fallschirmjager company into keyholed defensive positions against the AI in a QB, hoping to get a half-decent fight out of it. Clicked go and within 30s it became clear that the AI had selected a force consisting almost entirely of armoured cars and halftracks. I won the scenario just using my Pz IIIM and Marder II support units.

I need a challenge! Anybody willing to oblige? I would prefer CMFI at the moment, since my BN/MG installation is having licensing issues (bought MG on Saturday and haven't been able to play BN since). I don't mind attack/defense/ME and I don't mind Allied/Axis, so PM me and I'll send through some email details.

I should be able to maintain minimum 1 turn per evening, probably more at weekends.

Cheers.

FWIW, playing a QB against the computer is often a waste of time. But a well-done scenario designed for play against the AI can be tense and enjoyable (especially if you don't let yourself re-do turns).

I agree. For me QBs are tops for PBEM, but scenarios will usually provide a better single player experience.

Agree with these both. I've had a couple of good AI QBs but scenarios are definitely better. I do like to pick my own forces sometimes, though!

Thanks, Jack Ration. I'll have a look at WeBoB later on.

I some how missed this. There is also the Blitz. Here is a link to the CM2 ladder: http://www.theblitz.org/ladders/Combat-Mission-x2/action=ladder&lid=16&active=0&played=5&order=d&order_by=elo&all=1

Nice thing about the Blitz ladder is that they have an ELO score so you can find opponents who are better than you.
