Good to hear you had fun.
Just try all the scenarios in MP. This is kind of new game so we don't know what is best for MP battles.
I want to play MP too sometime. I haven't tried yet cause still doing the campaigns and I'm quite liking them. This game is very good.
Most probably I'll get ragdolled in MP but at least at lot of shots will be fired. :(

Yeah - it was a great experience so different from FtF wargaming - the fog of war was very challenging -I researched the real battle of the Coral Sea after we had played half or so of the game and wow things were different than real life - talk about suffering from Analysis Paralysis... thank goodness I wasn't on the stop watch and had time to think. Thanks for your comments- I will try and do some of the scenarios by pbem.

Hello again- yes Face to face gaming is really good-but when the wifes cat tried to play and eat the cardboard counters -well not so much!- Tried the PBEM scenario Fall Rot - its tough !don't know much about the Early War in WW2- fascinating>- if you don't mind my asking where are you from? I live in Australia- I hadn't heard the term "rag dolled" but worked it out from the context of your comment.
When you get round to doing PBEM if you are up to doing a game let me know? I play for fun not kudos- regards Mark
