Somes MP questions from an MP newbie...

[Mr.Bigglesworth]

I have been playing single player for about two weeks now, and am looking for more of a challenge, so I want to start playing some MP.

1. Do most of you play the '36 scenario when playing MP?
2. If so, does the human Axis usually declare war early, or historically?
3. How long do games normally last?
3. What gamespeed is normally played? Is the gamespeed faster during the relatively calm, pre-war years?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

1) I atleast usually find my self in 36-games (about 90% of the time)
2) Early. Never seen a game where Germany doesn't take atleast one nation before 37, often more. And Italy usually takes Albania and/or Greece and Yugoslavia (if the player is competent)
3) Umm, until they crash? I varies, but usually atleast a few hours, my longest session was 7h (including lots of crashes, rehostings and so on)
4) During 1.01 it was below-normal, now it usually varies between below-normal and above-normal, with a pause on start.
