"How to play games with players of my level"

[ManuC23]

Hi guys, I bought Axis & Allis 1942 2e online on Steam for Christmas, I’ve been playing for a while, but the thing is that being Wood level, I keep playing much higher levels and although I’ve learned a lot from my defeats, I’d also like to play with players of my level, but when I going to play with Wood and Bronze players, I only get Silver and Gold and even Platinum to play ? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Can you help, please?

@Panther When I go and select to play on Wood level, after I see who my opponent is, is he a higher level, silver, gold or platinum? Why does this happen?…What can I do to play some games with players of my level?

Well, that’s how matchmaking works. If there are no players appropriate for your skill level, it continues to search. Maybe try searching for games in different hours?

Also, Wood seems to be the less populated category:

Wood Axis players: 323
Bronze Axis players: 966
Silver Axis players: 1560
Gold Axis players: 813
Platinum Axis players: 273

Wood Allies players: 494
Bronze Allies players: 1225
Silver Allies players: 1533
Gold Allies players: 732
Platinum Allies players: 243

(that’s from the previous season).

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog I understand, but even though I reached silver in my first season, I ended up in bronze and in this 13th I am in wood, but apparently since I look for games after work at night, I get silver and gold, if I get bronze players I have no problems with that, but I think there should be an option to let you decide if you accept a jump like that in the matchmaking.
