Hi, I'm looking for an opponent to PBEM with IKE.

I'm definitely no top gun at all, just an ordinary player willing to have fun with this great sim.
So don't expect a challenge If you are a grognard or a top gun, I'm probably not the right player for you.

I do have some experience in solo but there's still so much to learn that I'm still considering myself a beginner ! I'm currently having my first IKE PBEM game and I really like it.

Any side, any scenario is OK for me.

Otherwise: PBEM file exchange with dropbox links on Steam chat or discord is OK for me.

Fast pace: Preferably (minimum) one turn per day.

Just let me know if any interest

Please answer below, no PM

I would like to simulate the shamal szenario.

Maybe one player naval force, one player air force, and one the iraq.

Hi, you mean coop 2 players against one ? I even didn't know it was possible ...

**** Shamal, 1991 (cooperative) - USN & USAF vs. Iraq (AI) ****
AUTHOR: Mike Mykytyn
Recommended settings:
TURN LENGTH 30 minutes
COMMAND Limited Orders
ORDERS PER TURN 3
WHO GOES FIRST USAF

Appparently, according to the fiche, it's just COOP. one player plays USN, the other plays USAF vs Ai which plays Iraq.
So I'm not at this point interested in coop games, sorry ... I don't feel strong enough for it and I don't want my co-player to be mad at me ) [:D][:D][:D].
I'm interested in PvP.

You can make the Iraq side playable by clicking "No" when asked if you want to use the recommended settings. It's an option in the subsequent menu.

Oh really ? That's cool ! I will give it a try as a test playing against myself.

I tried but couldn't see the option. Couldn't find a way to play Iraq in a 3 players game. Just USN and USAF.

Yep, my mistake. You can change the order of playable sides from the settings, but can't activate AI sides without running IKE on the original mission again.

So I've made a custom version of Shamal for 2v1 play (USN/USAF vs. Iraq) for you. The Iraqis will have a hard time of it but may be able to embarrass the Allies with some careful play within their own air defenses.

Enjoy!

Ah !! That's great, thank you ! [&o]

OK, so I will be more specific : I'm looking for an opponent to play as Spain in Canary's Cage. I will be NAIL (never played it as NAIL before and I'm curious to see if they has a chance at all ...)

Fast pace, minimum 1 turn per day, more if possible. All settings as "recommended".

Chat + saves exchange on Discord

Already found several opponents and we are on Discord (official CMO channel) and we're having a LOT of fun ! This IKE pbem mod is absolutely briliant !

Please keep posting here below if you are interested so that we build a list of PBEM players >>>>

I'd like to get started with PBEM.

Anybody looking for an opponent?

Sure ! I am. Now I started PBEM, I'm totally addicted
Do you have Discord ? If yes, pls add me nukkxx#9033
Which scenario you had in mind ? I never played Helping Brothers. Would you like to try it ?
