MP email games start up

[ETF]

OK any trick to starting an email game? Play the SP scenarios no problems. Trying to get a MP game going and it just hangs. Is there a step instructions for starting up a MP game. Seems pretty straight forward. I select our options. Select multiplayer and it just hangs on the Vista circle. How long does it take to set it up? I just get the splash screen and wait it seems for ever and nothing....Any ideas?

There was a thread on this - I can't track it down at the moment... I think HS posted screenshots, but the search isn't working real gooder.

really, I need more details, you say it hangs, where ?, when ?

I get, click on the mulity player buttong

it will bring up a new screen, asking if Hot seat or play by email, click which you want

then lower it will have 5 slots for player name, click one add in what name you want, and say okay

at bottom of screen, it has a button to start mulity player game, click that

it now brings you the campaign set up screen

pick the one you want

and click start

(in the BoBs, the English will be the defenders and start first, in BTR, the Germans are the defenders and start first)

make what changes you want (move AA/Squadrons/Gruppen, production (normally you want to wait until day two for Production changes)

click end turn and it will take you to the save game screen, pick a slot (add in info on the side if you want) save it, and it will take you back to the main menu

send the save turn to the other player and you should be good to go

where are you hanging up at ????

(I just ran though it, and those are the steps I used)
