Matrix Games Forums

I am looking for an experienced Soviet player for the 1941 Bitter End Campaign by PBEM (v1.12.06):
Full Blizzard & No Bonus
Better CV Math
Random Weather
Estimated turn pace: 3 to 5 days per turn

I am new to the forum but have 300+ hours on the game already with my local friends

Please be warned that OP will quiz you to make sure you are a suitable player. I failed the quiz I guess but I wish the next interested party the best of luck.

Why be so petty?

I just asked a question to judge your experience level, just trying to find a more suitable opponent for a long game. That's all

You're right and I do apologize, but you were being just as petty by assuming I am less experienced or less talented based on some forum posts. Why ask for opponents if you won't believe them?

I apologise if I have offended you but it is not my intention.

Yet from posts, you can gauge the thinking and experience level of the person. Barring this, I can't think of a better way. This is my way of finding an opponent and it has proven successful in other game forums for numerous PBEM games. So can you drop this issue and let me find an opponent

You won't have a lot of success finding opponents if you go through their entire forum history and ask them what you think are the most important aspects of the game.

If a bad day a work is your reason for trolling, No, I am not interested in playing a game with you. Go play your games and let me play mine.

Game slot still open

v1.11.03 ? it seems old version

It is current official patch and the one I used for my last game. I usually don't upgrade to beta patches

I think maybe you should consider upgrading to the Beta. Its very stable and helps fix a few things that needed fixing.

And maybe find a few more players to play.

I have many, many, many WITE games under my belt and Joe Lewis may be the best opponent I have faced. Menschliches_Gehirn translates as "human brain"
To make decisions based on assumptions instead of empirical evidence is not an intelligent thought process.

Different people have different criteria in choosing opponents. I just ask him a simple question to see if we have some "gaming chemistry" and he started trolling. Also, he said other things which I shall not mention in the open which revealed a lot of his thinking. So you are making assumptions without accessing to our PMs.

Experience is important but human character is most important. I only play with friends. This is a long game and winning is not so important. For me this game is like a simulation, I enjoy the mutual learning experience with a friend, discuss our mistakes and so on....

I read about some "HQs trapped in a pocket" issue, being unable to be moved out or disband.

What is the criteria before a beta patch is made official?
What are the main issues fixed by v1.12 which are game changing? (long-term game balance impact)

"Experience is important but human character is most important. I only play with friends. This is a long game and winning is not so important. For me this game is like a simulation, I enjoy the mutual learning experience with a friend, discuss our mistakes and so on...."

Your statement is absolutely correct. I agree! The purpose is enjoyment. I am certainly no "Human Brain", however, about 30% of the time I can solve a math equation correctly 100% of the time and we all know that 100% is perfect! I'm also good at English. I have an excellent vocabulatory.

Good luck and enjoy your WITE experience.

No idea if they plan any more beta's.

There remain a few quirks in the system, but even I, who point out odd things once in a while, find the beta .06 pretty good and worth playing.

Managed to download all the patch notes for v.1.12 and it is 9 pages long!

Open to upgrade to v1.12.06 if someone is willing to take up the challenge.

I do apologize for getting on your case. I hope you find someone to play with!

@Menschliches_Gehirn - I would strongly recommend upgrading to v1.12.06 as almost everyone plays on that now and yes make sure to read the patch notes carefully as some significant changes. JoeLewis is a pretty decent player and has played in some team games so should be a pretty reasonable opponent unless you are "pelton" or "tyronec" level. I'm glad to volunteer to advise him if you 2 start a game. And you are welcome to quiz me though not sure I can answer everything past the first blizzard as none of my opponents have lasted that long
