Gents:
I joined the Squad Battles ladder 5 years ago in 2018. I was advised by veteran players to purchase Red Victory first. The game had 97 scenarios, more than other SB games, was one of the most popular SB games, and was said to have many balanced scenarios. I played against legendary players like Ozgur Budak and Richie61. Literally, my "opponent wanted" posts would receive multiple responses - usually within hours of posting.
Fast forward to today. I still own Red Victory complete with the fantastic 4.01 update boasting improved graphics and functionality. It's been 3 days + since I posted an "opponent wanted" thread for Red Victory - still one of the most popular Squad Battles games. Not a single response. Just crickets. What's going on?
Lack of response can't be because I'm a feared SB player. I only have a .278 win ratio. Lack of response can't be Red Victory, the game itself. It's been GREATLY IMPROVED with stellar graphics, menu interface, and functionality. I guess something else is going on here.
Look, I did not purchase Red Victory or Pacific War to play against the AI. HAL will NEVER be even a mediocre substitute for a real person. The Blitz has always been the place to connect with fellow players to discuss our favorite hobby and yes, to find real life opponents to play games.
Finally, I'm not trying to "shame" anyone to respond and I'm not looking for pity either. I really want to get back into the SB Series, but the lack of player response and participation in the SB Forums is disappointing and discouraging. I may have made a mistake. I guess time will tell.
