Paul maybe you answer this question (maybe it's too late). Is there a possiblity to include a direct-connection option for head to head to head combat in V 5.0? Hotseat is fine if only one computer is available, but I have to tell you, it is nerve racking waiting for your opponent to finish their turn (I heard an explosion... was it my tank exploding).

At least you could check out your forces/plan a little while it was your opponets turn. I suppose it would resemble an internet/network connection. Maybe not many people would be interested in a direct connection option. So I'll put it to the forum, what do you think everyone?

IF you have LAN casrds in the PCs just connect them LAN card to LAN card and use TCP/IP. LAN Cards pretty cheap these days, like 15 bucks...about half the price of a direct connection cable.
