OTOH playing humans gives this game almost infinite replayability. I still have times where my heart pumps waiting to see if a risky move pays off. Better late than never eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I could also challenge someone to a duel to the death!, though as it will be my first time ever to be playing a PBEM I will probably need guiding, so anyone want to engage in lethal conflict or is it white flag already? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Wittman and I are starting a game, I try to limit myself to a certain number of games at a time, so I am afraid I cannot take on another. But I am sure there are others willing to help a rookie into PBEM, and if you are lucky, someone that will not take advantage of the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Ok Axel, bring it on. I'm good for 3 or so PBEM moves a week minimum, sometimes more. Send a setup to vulpine_odyssey(at)hotmail.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWittman Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi all, A couple of days ago I just finished Rune's late war scenario Royal Opponent. If you want to play with some big cats then this is the battle for you! On the Axis side you get no less than 11 KT to play with and on the Allied side at least a dozen IS-2. I got a 'major victory' against the AI but as always I felt this was only because of his usual inept play. He did give me a nasty surprise at the end and with 4 KT lost or abandoned and 4 others immobilized I believe the AI definitely had the edge if the battle had have continued. Still those Kings sure are beasts and fun to play with! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yeah, I've played that vs the AI. A lot of fun. Hey MW, how's your PBEM going? Did you get it started? Looks like the wheels have fallen off Axel's bravado as he is yet to answer my challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWittman Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yeah Siv after some teething difficulties it's finally on the way. I gotta say I was a bit nervous setting it up, I have no idea how Brent plays... I hope I don't get too much of a kicking LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 The people who will give you the biggest kicking are scenario designers. The know the points value and mathematical chances of everything. Quite takes the romance out of it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuirassier Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Sivodsi is you are still looking for a game to play I'm up for a small one. QB or scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Are you a scenario designer??? :mad: :mad: :mad: Just kidding. Sure, bring it on. I'm not fussy: any side any period. E-mail the setup and lets get started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuirassier Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Lol. I've made some scenarios for myself against the AI. Lets just say they are a little uninspiring. I'll will send you a setup tomorrow. It will probably be a QB unless I find an interesting scenario I haven't played yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWittman Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Perhaps I should rename this thread to anyone want to PBEM me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Good job, MW, your thread increased the amount of communication in this world by a measurable amount. I received a file from Cuirassier, and have sent it back. I'm just waiting for the next move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Schwendeman Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Axel what do you mean "ignite"? Are you still looking for a game? I've been trying to find someone to play PanzerBlitz #7 with. It is at TSD2. Take a look at it and if you want to play send me an email. I did not design it and I haven't played it. I have looked at it in the editor so feel free to look and see if it interests you. Have fun, Von Schwendeman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWittman Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Er has anyone ever seen a strange bug in CM where all your men look like stickmen (standing bolt upright) and then when you hide/unhide them they go back to normal except for accelerated head swivels. And no my men haven't been taking speed LOL. I just received a file in my PBEM vs slysniper where this was taking place when I was setting up a turn. :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWittman Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 OK I'll answer myself. It seems it's just a strange bug that happens now and then... http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=23;t=011038#000002 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Only seen this in CMSF, didn't know it could happen in CMX1. Its an interesting look for sure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWittman Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 You mean to say Siv that this bug made it through to the new game with a different engine as well? Oh dear I wonder if it was deliberately left in there. Rebooting the PC seems the only way to fix this annoying little quirk. It doesn't happen too often though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I mean how do I even start a PBEM match? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 MichaelWittman is now starting the learning curve of playing against a Human,one that he is not use to playing either. Its very early in the Battle, but he has had his first big mishap. he can share if he would like. I am also suprised by running into enemy infantry units pretty far from his objectives, either he has a ton of infantry or I have taken him for granted that he would deploy so far from flags. But with the amount of units and the initial deployment locations, this battle could turn into a crazy shot out, with not much of what one would call a formal battle line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivodsi Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Axel, when you start any game didn't you notice the screen "choose game type"? One of the options is for an e-mail game. Try it and see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
