Hi folks,

how do you set up a multi-player game. I know you can set-up a 2 player using PBEM++ but what do you do if there are more than 2 people playing. The manual makes reference to setting up multiplyer games but is light on details.

This would be trippy, if even possible? It's Axis v Allies in a turn-based system.

1) Start new game, Axis (logins in)
2) 1st person can only move the Germany/Italy on the honor system
3) 1st person all units Germany/Italy
4) 1st person saves the game
5) 1st person emails that game to their Japanese playing partner (2nd person)
6) 2nd (Japan) load games knowing Axis password
7) 2nd does not see any "moves/combat", all gone by now.
8) 2nd plays all Japanese, save
9) 2nd "ends the turn" (turn based game)
10) 2nd sees all the post-turn events
11) 2nd emails to Allied (person #3)
12) Rinse & repeat

Not practical, nor would you get any volunteers. Unless you were doing life w/o parole and nothing else better to do.

Thanks EJR. The manual's reference to multiplayer mode was just getting my hopes up.
