I could. If we get a few people up for a co-op mission or some small h2h.

I was thinking this as well. I did some poking around and read that there was a Discord, but it fell apart. And as I said and you can agree, we probably don't want to sit on team-speak waiting, or sit hovering over the forums. If we had something planed and organized like the TGIF games but say on a Wednesday I think that could also work and may be good. Like I said in my original post, one of the things that kept me away was my work schedule and the game schedule. Seeing that I work weekends and seeing that a majority of the games are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I knew I was going to have a hard time finding people to games to play in.

Since I have no idea how to use infantry. I would have spent most of the game trying to figure out what to do. And that wouldn't have been any fun for me.

I've been trying. But I feel they play too much like an RTS (Real Time Strategy) than a sim. What with commanding units across the map and managing all sorts of things. In fact, I had to bail out of tonight's (3-1-2019) TGIF because it was all infantry. I would have had nothing to do and been utterly useless.

Yea, thanks to the tips. Going to keep reading and practicing till something comes up. But there wasn't really anyone else to play with.

Yes, I was putting in my time zone for reference. Since I’m 8 hours behind gmt.

I’ll be available all day tomorrow if anyone was up for something.

I’d be up for it later tonight. I live on the west coast of the us, so about 1900 pst -8 gmt.

Not for another 5 hours. I’m at work today and don’t get home till 1900 pst I looked them up, that’s at 12:30am till 3am for me on the west coast of the US. Most of the sessions that are at a reasonable time for me are on Saturdays and Sundays. Which is what lead me to making this post.

Per my original post, I have looked at the calendar. And all the posted sessions there are on weeeknds while I am working. Also as mentioned, I have been playing the TGIF sessions. Since they are the only ones scheduled around a time I am free to play. But as I said, I haven’t been enjoying them.

I believe 19:00 gmt is 11:00 for me. So that’s doable on Tuesdays and/or Wednesday. So I’ll try to keep my eyes on the adhoc topic for now.

I’ll admit that I am at fault for not actively looking for sessions. I look at the calander and I check the froums once or twice a day. And I don’t spend hours sitting on the Teamspeak server. So by the time I see that and adhoc session is going on it’s after the fact. Make me think a better way of advertising sessions might be in order. But I’ve read that Discord was tried and failed.

I posted this to Reddit the other day, and Ill share it here as well. So I’ve been on and off playing Steel Beasts for a year now. I won’t say I’m good at it, cause I know I’m not. I still have loads to learn. But one of the things that has bugged me, and was holding me back from buying, was the online play section of Steel Beasts forums. I noticed that most of the games are Saturdays and Sundays. I understand that this works for a majority of people. But this doesn’t work for me as I work weekends. So I’ve only been able to participate in the TGIF games. Which I’ll be honest I haven’t been enjoying. Mostly because I’m not getting the sim experience I want out of SB. I’m not a fan of controlling multiple units on the field and having to manage a platoon of tanks and troops. I’ll go with my in experience in the sim as a contributing factor there. But I’ve seen that there are planed multiplayer engagements where it is one person one tank. (Or even two people one tank multi crew roll) And that’s what I really want to do. I’ve been trying to convince a few of my friends to at least try SB with the one month license, but so far no takers. In the mean time I keep practicing with the TANKS! scenario and getting time on the range with the different tanks. So with all that said, are they are groups that maybe do a week day scenario? For some context, I live in pacific time zone, and have Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s free.

I've been practicing and learning using the Tanks! scenario. Some shots from my time in the M1.

If I wasn't working. I do want to try something on a weeknight other than Friday though. Working weekends sucks.
