Hey there people! a FNG here and wanted to put out all the questions I have regarding Combat Mission and see who would be willing to answer. Most of them are in regard to Multiplayer.
1. There are 2 ways to play multiplayer that I have observed in the manual and online, one through ports and internet connection, allowing for a real time engagement (this is the only experience I have had with the multiplayer and I have only had 2 games). Two email and sending turns by email for each move. It seems to me that you all play by email the majority of the time, is that true? Does anyone try to play real time? Would anyone be willing to?
2. What is the best set up for playing by email? I have attempted to learn how to do so and I haven't enjoyed it, seems like a mundane process?
3. If people do play through IP and port multiplayer, would someone like to direct me to the best way to set one up? Or possibly try to play a game with me that way? I find it quite enjoyable to play that way as I can make decisions on the fly?
4. What are some ground rules I should be aware of as far as etiquette for multiplayer?
5. Do y'all utilize discord?
6. Best way to set up a multiplayer game? (Where to post, who to message, what times?)
Thank you all!
