ORIGINAL: panzermeyer73 I guess hotseat is a better term, meaning multiple players using the same computer but taking separate turns. Yes, if what you meant was two players playing against each other using the same computer, I have been using the terms Hotseat and Head-to-Head to describe this mode of play. None of these terms seem to be standardized in the industry (computer war games), so we just fumble around when trying to communicate with each other. For example, I have coined the acronyms AIO to describe an AI Opponent (who plays against a human player) and AIA to describe an AI Assistant (who plays on the same side as a human player). And then I use the word Solitaire to describe when a person plays both sides, without any AI participating. These are my conventions, and forum readers get confused by them from time to time - but it is the best I have been able to come up with [and it took me a couple of tries to get these clearly defined]. And to answer your original question, MWIF has the following modes of play: Solitaire, One player versus the AIO, Hotseat/Head-to-head, PBEM (two players only) Netplay (2 to 6 players, with up to 3 per side)
