New guy looking for experience!
 

Hi everybody. I just downloaded WinSPMBT earlier this month and I've been loving it. I'd really like the chance to play against a human opponent though. I'm willing to play a game just about any time, place, or nations, but I would prefer a smaller battle. So who wants to kick the crap out of a newbie? :D

Hey, i a new player too who would like to play hes first PBEM.. You want to try it? :)

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Sounds like a good idea to me, we can flail around trying to figure out what we're doing together this way :P

So what would you prefer? I'm thinking smaller, more manageable battle. I prefer fighting in the 70's myself, but it's all good.

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Yeah, a smaller battle would be fine. I would rather fight in 90-00 since its more fun(more stuff to fool around with) :)

Have fun guys now you have made contact its easier to exchange emails & sort out the bits & pieces. You can click on there name & send a PM (private message) if dont want to give it out.
Any problems shout but its the same as a game vs AI pretty much except select both players as human.
There is a sticky explaining in detail in the forum here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=29661

I'd like to also welcome you both to our little world of obsession for these kind of games.

If only playing under a month,I wish you both luck.

MBT is a very hard game to master,even playing the AI.

Have you all considered WW2?,another excellent game not as flashy like modern warfare ,but eaiser to comprehend,and still a challenge in anyone's book.

If you get stuck and you may,many here will surely give some input.

Snahu/Toast,

I wuld echo Gila's sentiments - PBEM can be addictive. Give it a try!

If you encounter any problems flag them up here - someone will be able to help.

Okay, how about a 750 point game in the 1990's? Feel free to send me your email, or I'll send you mine next time I get a chance. I'd look more into how to get a PBEM game going now but I'm on campus and class is about to begin, haha.

Oh, also, what nation do you want to play as? Personally, I like playing Russia, I like their gear, but I'm open to a lot.

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Just saw your post in the 90s 750pts wont get you many toys, an infantry company one tank & a few bits & pieces would be about it. A 90s MBT will cost 250-500 pts or there abouts depending on quality.

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Hey,
How many points would you recommend for a good, but "small" battle in the 90's?

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Depends what you class as small, say this because if you like Russians its probably for the variety.
Easiest way till you get an idea of points is to set larger than you need for player 1 say 10,000 & set player 2 to XXX.
Now buy what you want & the other player will get the same amount of points you spent not 10,000.
Works vs AI & PBEM hope that helps.

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Good idea, sounds about right to me.

So Snauhi, what nation do you want to play and just how big a battle do you want? I'm thinking about about a mechanized/motorized infantry company plus change.

Re: New guy looking for experience!
 

Hey, i am probably planning to play as Finland(my home country)..

And yeah. A mech/mot company is fine for me.

How about 3000-4000 points?
