Greetings from a new player

[Cohen]

Hi everyone.
I'm a new player, tried the demo (managing to achieve strategic victory at 1st game ... ) and ordered the retail which should be in my hands soon. After a bit of practice in single player I'd like to start to play in multiplayer.
It is possible to get inserted // to attend to some game having a minor contry, like Rumania, Sweden, Spain, Hungary or so?

I'm a pro-axis player, and I like playing on that side.
From my past experiences with strategic games the AI result soon in an unsatisfactory opponent (as shown in Demo), which or cheat or just is dumb, so after I get a grasp on about handling a nation I'd rather prefer to see the game in its wholeness cooperating with humans against humans, where the CPU handle minor powers and such.

I want to start as a minor power cause it's good to make practice, and I cannot affect much the outcome of the game, meanwhile an inexperienced player handling like Italy, or UK, or even Germany or Russia could just cripple the game.

Well starting as a minor is sometimes the way to go - but usually more experienced players will give you hints, etc, and playing a nation like the USA, or USSR which both have a large scope for error can be an enjoyable introduction into MP.

If you are up for a game, you probably want to add your location to your profile - many groups are formed around locations to minimise latency and time frame issues. Of course, if you are from Australia, we have a thriving group of players, with several games running concurrently. Checking the other recent threads should let you know if there are group games running in your timezone/area as well.

Anyways, welcome aboard

I'm from Italy (GMT+1), and I work all the weekdays til about 6 PM (my time).
So I've some hours most of the weekdays, and usually more freedom in weekends (to I play World of Warcraft as well so this could hamper my schedule here).
