Questions to MP afficionados

[unmerged(9612)]

Guys,

Can you tell us a bit about your MP experience...

What countries do you play ? Which countries win the most when humans play agains humans (as opposed to several humans against the AI) ? In which scenarios and settings..

How do you play ? Over a LAN, internet ?

What are the key problems you run into ?

How do you get around the following (if these countries are played by humans)..

Ability of USSR to declare war anytime ?
Ability of French to refuse Vichy and fight on ?
Japan declaring war on USSR to help Germany or USSR declaring war on Japan ahistorically ?
Ability of Germany to "beef up" its axis allies (notably Italy and Japan) by sharing all tech....

Thanks

Play with us and find out!

In 1936 scenario I believe Allies win about 90% of the time. I've never seen an Axis victory and other guys have said the same thing.

Internet

The MP launch sequence is buggy as hell. Lag is a major problem if you don't have a very high end host.

The game imposes its own constraints on all but the tech sharing. Most groups use house rules to limit tech sharing.

Come play and find out.

Ability of French to refuse Vichy and fight on ?

Even if you choose to fight on, there's a bug that still traces all your supplies back to Paris.

Making you infact useless.
