BDW Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 the oppenent finder forum here is totally dead it seems. I'm looking for a medium-skilled opponent or two for some CMBN PBEMs. can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been practicing against the AI and now i need a human to hand me my ass. thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryCMBB Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 We Band of Brothers and A few Good Men are sites that are often mentioned. Also the Blitz. You might want to search for previous threads on this. Gerry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have found many worthy opponents on this ladder: http://www.theblitz.org/ladders/Combat-Mission-Battle-For-Normandy/action=yearly_ladder&lid=16&year=2011&order=d&order_by=elo&all=1 As you can see I sort the list by ELO score not participation score. That way it gives you a better idea if an opponent's skill level. I certainly have had my a** handed to me buy more then one guy at the top of the rankings. Try one of us lower down on the ladder for a start:-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Smiley Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 A sticky thread ('PBEM opponents wanted') in this forum would probably get a lot more attention than the current sub-forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenAsJade Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Don't overlook We Band Of Brothers The very cleverly designed ladder system there is one of the main reason I joined: it has a rather unique formula that takes into account the ranking of a person's opponents in calculating the person's own ranking. This means that the nasty business of newbie bashing is stamped out, because it does no-body any good (in fact, newbies can get better rankings by playing experience people). GaJ (PS: the actual ladder is behind a member login: if people would be interested to view it, maybe I should open it up). PPS: it really does get tiresome posting this same "where can I find an opponent" information every few weeks or so. Can't that seminal posting on this topic be stickied? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 PPS: it really does get tiresome posting this same "where can I find an opponent" information every few weeks or so. Can't that seminal posting on this topic be stickied? Or how about using a Wiki for that and just Sticky the Wikis location? It's kind of astonishing that nothing like this has been done yet. I think dieseltaylor created a wiki for CM, I just put a page into it with the three clubs known to me: http://combatmission.wikia.com/wiki/CM_Multiplayer_Clubs Maybe we could improve this wiki and make it a resource for common information?

Noone supports this idea? I think that would solve the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
