"How to play games with players of my level"

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?

@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?

@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.
