Multiplayer game

[GeneralRommel]

I am interested in playing a multiplayer game using TCP/IP, not PBEM. Prefer evenings at approx. 19:00 MST

Hmmm... MST. Mean Standard Time. *Can't remember if that is the same as Zulu time* Meaning, with or without Daylight Savings Time. Weekends, I might be able to manage that time. Normally I have classes at that time though. Because that is like... noon or so here.

Don't bother. TCP/IP is inherently buggy. Units vanish, comps desync, crashes occur.

Fun.

Desert Fox, you'll find a myriad of comrades willing to play by email. It's not that bad if one is disciplined enough - one turn a day, for example. Give it a(nother?) chance.

*beep* wrong!

Have been playing TCP/IP with almost no problems whatsoever.
2-3 crushes via the game due to internet instability at DSL 256Kb/s is fully acceptable.
Autosave is meant exactly for that purpose.

If it crushes 10 or more times per game, blame your ISP, then your OS stability/RAM overload.

You can't tell me that units don't vanish from the games I play :P
