Can you start a pbem game as "hot seat"?

Can you choose "hot seat" or must choose "solitaire"?

Thanks

You can choose either, but if you are playing solitaire anyway, all you may gain is some help in "not" looking at US Entry when you are being the Axis. In return you get a lot of extraneous clicking when the game is trying to tell you to change to the other player. And there are occasions when it gets that wrong.

Not worth the trouble in solitaire IMO.

For PBEM it can be helpful as you can save the game when the message comes up - as long as the message is right and you are in a place where you can save the game.
