solitaire 50%.
PBEM 50%.

as time goes on, and assuming PBEM works pretty well, I would expect PBEM to increase and solitaire to decrease.

AI, almost completely -- though I'd play solitaire if you think there'll be no AI.

<edited to actually answer the survey-reedited to spell actually korektlee>

I will play vrs the AI to learn the mechanics of the UI.&nbsp; Probably once or twice.
I will play a good friend of mine who I played WiF with for 15 years PBEM/Netplay.&nbsp; Probably 5-10 games
I may play random people I meet here in multi-country Netplay.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-2 games perhaps leading to several.
Solitare?&nbsp; Nah, I can use Vassal for that.
Hotseat?&nbsp; Well, its easier to play over the board, and set the game up
&nbsp;
So:
&nbsp;
Vrs AI:&nbsp; 10%
PBEM/Netplay, 2 people:&nbsp; 70%
Netplay, 7 people:&nbsp; 20%&nbsp;&nbsp; But could eat into the PBEM/Netplay if it proves to be fun.
Solitare:&nbsp; Never.
Hotseat:&nbsp; Never.

Solitaire - 5% Seems like it would come in handy to try different build strategies. Wouldn't play it for a War though.

Head-to-head (Hotseat) - 5% My group plays our grand strategy game with a LAN setup now. We'll probably do the same with MWiF. On days only 2 can make it, we'll try doing this.

AI Opponent - 20% Try things out.

NetPlay - 70% This is where the fun will be.

PBEM - 0% I have seen your threat explaining how this works, don't think it's for me.

Solitaire 10%; AI 0%; Hot Seat 0%; netplay/e-mail 90%. Prefer net-play.

AI 60%
PBEM 30%
NETPLAY 10%

Solitaire: 10% (until such time as the option of split scale is offered in MWiF, then 20%)
Head-to-head: 10%
AI Opponent: 20% (until split scale, then 10%)
NetPlay:50%
PBEM: 10%

Assuming split scale is ever offered, I would use it to explore possibilities inherent in the position over-the-board. Definitely, Netplay is my strong preference for MWiF.

Solitaire 10%
AI 80%
PBEM 10%

netplay/e-mail 90%. Prefer net-play.

That means 50% / 40% ?
55% / 35 % ?

Statistics need hard data.

PBEM/Netplay, 2 people:  70%
Netplay, 7 people:  20%   But could eat into the PBEM/Netplay if it proves to be fun.

So, that's PREM 70% and Netplay 20% ?

At First

Solitaire 5% or less
Hotseat 0%
AI Opponent 70-75%
NetPlay 25% (or zero depending on preferences of my friend who will buy the game)
PBEM 0% (or 25% depending on preferences of my friend who will buy the game)

The total of NetPlay and PBEM should be 25%

After I have had it a while

Solitaire 25%
Hotseat 0%
AI Opponent 25%
NetPlay 25% (guessing)
PBEM 25% (guessing)

The total of NetPlay and PBEM should be 50%

Could you cast one vote only please ?

Solitaire, almost completely -- though I'd play solitaire by hotseat if you think there'll be no AI.

You answer confuses me. Are we attaching the same meaning to the word Solitaire? Please see my original post describing what I mean by the word Solitaire.

Solitaire - you play both sides and make all decisions.

Head-to-head (Hotseat) - two players use a single computer, with the players taking turns moving their units/making decisions using the same mouse and keyboard.

AI Opponent - the player takes one side and the Artificial Intellengent Opponent plays the other.

NetPlay - 2 to 6 players with each player having his own computer; there are game 'sessions' where all the players log into the game and communicate their decisions using the internet.

PBEM - Play by email for 2 players, with all decisions communicated via email (an option to temporarily switch to NetPlay if they so desire).

Solitaire: 3%
Head-to-head: 0%
AI: 35%
NetPlay: 10%
PBEM (with NetPlay when both are on-line simultaneously): 52%

I am assuming the PBEM method will be something like Cyberboard, not literally sending emails.

Solitaire - 5%

Head-to-head (Hotseat) - 0%

AI Opponent - 0%

NetPlay - 20%

PBEM - 75%

I know, human opponents are always better, but I never have that sort of time or commitment.

Solitaire 50% until I become more knowleable in using both sides allies and axis.[&:]

AI 90% after initial learning period.[:'(]
