Well, I think I waited long enough.  I posted a poll over at the WiF discussion group back on May 15...its been 10 days now and have gotten 31 responses.  The poll is a bit limiting since it is not possible to answer with percentages, only one answer allowed.  The WiF discussion list is made up mostly of long-time WiF'ers and basically Grognards who also play many other wargames.  The results with 31 responses:
NetPlay=13 votes(42%)
PBEM=5 votes(16%)
HotSeat=0 votes(0%)
AI=10 votes(32%)
Solitaire=3 votes(10%)

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

 

[CSSS]

AI 60%
PBEM 30%
ONLINE 10%

[ETF]

AI - For tutorial only
NetPLay - 99%
PBEM - Man it would take months to play a game

[lavisj]

I would probably play AI at first to learn the interface and make the discovery of the map.
After that "tutorial":
 
Netplay: 70%
PBEM: 30%

This means 100% AI Opponent ?

Months ?
It already takes months to play the face to face game.
PBEM will need years.

Not necessarily. It would be quite possilbe to send several emails a day for simple stuff. With a little dedication, the two players could complete one or two turns a week - which is about the same as for over-the-board, if I am not mistaken.

We already take years to complete a board campaign, 2 years for a Global war.

Sorry, I was joking, I have no idea of how long PBEM games can take.
I only know about our home games, that have a duration of about 150 hours for playing the 36 turns game, with an average total of 250 impulses played.
