RE: WDS survey feedback
Though most of their great futbol players are in Europe I think Brazil stats from this poll should still be included in the SA total.
cheers

RE: WDS survey feedback
Gents,
It's disappointing, but not surprising, that nearly 90% of players surveyed play against the AI.
Ability to play anytime against the AI is attractive. Also, it's easier to win against the AI than with human opponents.
I joined the Blitz in 2006. I remember when posts seeking opponents generated a half dozen responses or more.
Now, like my recent opponent wanted post, there were many "views" but no responses.

RE: WDS survey feedback
I'd say it's more difficult to find community websites compared to the time when JTS games were more prominently featured on wargaming websites. I think I only found The Blitz because someone mentioned it on another forum or through an online search engine.
One of the people commenting on the latest WDS blog post also explicitly asks where PBEM opponents might be found.
I think it would be a good idea to include some links to community websites on the WDS website, maybe even have a "Community" tab. Particularly for returning or older players it might be less intuitive to find the current gaming clubs/commmunity websites if they've been away for a while.

There is a set of links on the WDS site, but it is not very obvious. At the bottom of the Support page, there is a button for "Gaming Clubs". Clicking this takes the user to a list of club links. But again, not very easy to find.

RE: WDS survey feedback
When I first joined the Blitz in 2012, so many of the posts were about finding opponents that I thought that the Blitz was only for that... I hadn't noticed but that seems to have changed over the years.

lol Grumpy. I have lost a lot of mine so I just wear a Marine Buzz...otherwise it is not very appealing if I grow it out.
I dunno guys, I didnt have trouble finding an opponent in here when I came back to PzC a few months ago. One had to take a break due to RL reasons but my opponent and I are very much enjoying going through the Stalingrad scenarios (I just listened to David Glantz' book called Stalingrad......good read and fun to hear what the RL units did, and then command them in the game). This has been a lot of fun and I thank my opponent for putting up with me and keepin it goin.
BTW Grumpy......45????...I just turned 69 in December haha
