Smertniki Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Been playing for about two months now. Got into my first PBEM match and got kicked but good and immediately afterward asked myself if there are virual units for this game as there are for others. Couldn't find an answer to this question in the FAQ, but I didn't see any links elsewhere on this site. I'm betting the answer's 'No' regarding VUs, but there's nothing like asking to get the straight skinny. Nik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase, "virtual units"? Do you mean players grouped together to play, organized as if they were military units from WW2? Like the players in WW2 Online do or did. There are a number of "clubs" and "tournament ladders" online where players join and get listed on the site for others to challenge them. There are probably some others better organized. Try "Blitzkreig" and check out the CM part of their forums as a starting place. Ike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDog944 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Or try something like http://www.cmmc2.org or http://www.onionwars.net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smertniki Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Second link doesn't seem to work. First link is at least close to what I'm looking for. Thanks, Nik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonxa Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm having a great time in CMMC2 right now. There has been, and probably will be more, waiting. It's worth it though because the battles mean so much more than your average QB or PBEM. We've got all skill levels too and the training might teach you a thing or two. Hop on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlov Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 There are some good sites listed here that might be what you're looking for: CM Webring Does anyone know if the Desert Rats are still active? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yair Iny Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi Bonxa, I went over to the CMMC site too and am a bit unclear about something. If you chose to play the role of a tactical commander (i.e. not only a staff position) how big are the battles? I am personally a bit overwhelmed by battles larger than about 1500-2000 pts at most. Is this sufficient to take a tactical role or would I be better off being staff only? Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albion Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi Yair iny The battle's in Cmmc2 are large.But don't let that put you off.If you want to fight a CM battle and you are accepted by either the Soviet or German side,then you will probably be given a Battalion to command.If you decide the battles look to large for you,apply for a staff position.This is were you get the chance to test your communication and planning skills.The campaign is immersive and once your in you will be hooked.Give it a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yair Iny Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi Albion, A battalion will do just fine, I was put off by a question in the application form asking whether I play 4000 pt battles, that's about a regiment's worth. I will take your advice and give it a go. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smertniki Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Okay, got squared over CMM2. Using the same user name. Nik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonxa Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Smertniki, I saw your post over at the CMMC2 forum. The initial problems should be solved fast. I hope you join the glorious Red Army. Yair Iny, the battles can be daunting and you will have to adapt to it. A Battalion is about the smallest we play with. And don't be surprised if you find an entire battalion of 152 mm guns in support (Thats three spotters!). The training should prepare you well though. Good luck the both of you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yair Iny Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Bonxa, thanks and hope to see you there soon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smertniki Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 I hope you join the glorious Red Army.I offer my worthless life in the service of the Rodinu. I had some trouble with the app, so I posted the basics at the CMCC site. Can't wait to die in pointless glory for the greater good.
