Default Pbem vs AI . . In what mode is most of your time spent playing?

Just curious what the majority of you play. Do you mainly Pbem or play most of your time against the AI or split time between the 2?

These days I rarely play Pbem due to time constraints. I mainly play vs the AI due to playtesting different campaigns I have in design progress.

Recently started playing a lot more vs AI as seem to have found reasonable settings.
A point on scenerios applies to some only.
Some form of briefing / intel would be nice such as on a raid there is a barracks 15 miles North of your location & units may be on maneuvers in the area.
I would take this as attack likely from the North but have a bit of time. Something could possibly appear sooner from any direction.
Or a simple the mainthrust is expected from.

Only give if intel is likely but some some give no real idea of position you have been placed in.

I play 100 % against the AI.
But I would really like to play Pbem, but my work in the Norwegian Armed Forces, with all its responsibilities can do that there sometimes will be weeks before I can play my round and return it.

I would suggest try joining a club & state that when you post for a game do the same here. I am sure there are other people with the same problem.
I prefer a quick return but dont have a problem if know. what is annoying is if some ones pattern changes & they don't say somethings come up.

If you want PM me with a couple of games you would like to do. I play standard settings all features on 100% Happy WW2 MBT any time side of your choosing

Overall, I suspect most people spend time playing against the AI because the turnaround is quicker. I've got both PBEM and AI games going. With PBEM games, I might average a turn per day where with the AI, I can complete a whole battle in one day. Some people may complete PBEM games faster, but I suspect those would be more the exceptions than the rule.

AI. Just like snow, you never know how much you're going to get or how long it's going to last...
