CM PBEM anyone?

CCIP · 05-02-07, 02:59 PM

Since I'm waiting for some repairs on my main PC before I can play more modern games (like SHIV) again, I was wondering if anyone would be up for some Combat Mission PBEM. :hmm:

I have all 3 titles (although I'm mostly partial to CMBB). I do, however, happen to be a total newbie when it comes to multiplayer with CM, and my skills with the game are admittably a bit rusty after not having played it for a while, so you might have to bear with me losing pathetically at first :p

I'm sure we have some Combat Mission players here, come on out... maybe we could even get a little PBEM league started here.

Maybe. perhaps.

I just got all three off my system about two weeks ago during a reformat but I guess I could always stick one back on there although between Sh4 modding, NWN2 and Rl stuff It might only be a couple of turns a week (if that,)

But yeah, a little Subsim Combat Mission ladder might be a fun idea, especially since I don't like going to the Battlefront forums very much.

I think Luftwolf is pretty into CM. I don't own any, but will purchase SF as soon as it comes out.

PD

Well, SF is still somewhere in the future! I'll wait and see, though I'm not averse to the ultra-modern setting of it and all...

Anyway, let's make this easy:
I just set up a quick and totally random warmup match (the forces matchup there is a little dumb, but hey...). Here it is:

If you're up for some playing here, just take up the challenge. You can respond to me by PM and then we'll set up an ongoing session by email perhaps

Check your PM.

A healthy bump!

Janus and me have just finished our first PBEM game. It was a pretty brutal match with me as the Soviets having to advance in dense fog. In the end I couldn't advance far enough, and our casualties were dead tied, and the result being a tactical defeat for me...

You can see just how nasty this was by the labels:

So, with that, I'll make another call for anyone else who'd like to join in. This is really fun :p
