How many PBEMs do you have going at once?


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to see everyone's PBEM CM experience level?  Are you a regular, vet, elite??  I'm just curious how much everyone else does.

Currently I have 5 PBEMs going against three different people.  Theaters in play right now are 2 RT, 1 BN, 1 FB and 1 FI.

Who are the warriors out there?

As one of those people, I have our game plus another 4 going (ours FI, 2 FBs, 1 BN and 1 CW).  As a 'modern virgin' the last is rather scary.  I normally have one or two RTs going but not at the moment.

At the moment Im doing 4 games but one is at a really slow burner. Turn rate of my oponent there is several weeks or months even.

1 CMBN, 1 CMRT, 2 CMFB.

That would be my comfort zone actually, especially when the games last longer turn-wise.

What do you think of CW @Vacillator?

As mentioned elsewhere, having never played a battle in any modern title, I accepted a challenge from our good friend @Ultradave to play 'Czechmate' with me as Soviets.  To encourage me (😂) he said this was pretty much what he trained for in RL.  Great way to start, right?

It's a very nice map and I'm starting to enjoy it but having initially lost several vehicles to TOWs from invisible launchers I'm being a bit more cautious and beginning to get spots on some of his units.  Not knowing much about modern weapons is a concern, as is my lack of long range AT assets at the current stage of the game - I have (sorry had) 4 T62s (now 3) but nothing else with range. That will change when the main force arrives.  None if this will come as a surprise to Dave so I'm not giving away much intel.

Overall, I think if I view the exercise as a lesson from the master I will hopefully not be too disappointed when I lose...

Presently playing 3 PBEM (1 CMFI, 1 CMRT, 1 CMFB) with another CMFi about to start.

Turn rates ranges between 1-2 per week to 1-2 per day.

Looks like 4-5 PBEM is standard for most of us...

Yep, it‘s 4 to 5 for me, too. Currently 4 BN and 1 RT.

Turn Rate to date one per week or less. But since I retired at the end of April only  it’s increasing now…

Congratulations on that Andreas.  Wish I could say the same, but not yet...

Perhaps you and I could share a game in the future?

Thank you, Sir!

Re the challenge: Most certainly, if you wish!

Indeed, I was about to ask you since a long time now, but hardly managed to serve ongoing commitments in the last years.

Any preferences? Dropbox or PBEM++? Otherwise, CW seems appropriate. Sounds like we both are kind of newbies in that one.

I have been there in RL, but looking at my placement, my active service time would have lasted for an hour or so.

I found 3 to 5 games is a good amount.

If you find someone that does multible turns a day, then the 3 games make more sence.

If everyone is only managing a turn a day at the most, then 5 is better.

 

If someone only does a turn or 2 a week, they are a lost contact to me after one game.

More of an invitation than a challenge 😉.  I'm just back after some RL things and I have a few 'testing commitments' and a few PBEMs (sorry to those involved) so I should probably try to clear a few of those first.

Otherwise I can do Dropbox (have done a lot) or PBEM++ (doing my first).  And CW is still a bit of a mystery but I'm being taught by a master.  The lesson is a harsh one...

I also have another CW 'challenge' to honour but we could set up a game if you have one in mind?
