More than 2 players?

[sightreader]

Would it be a good or bad idea to allow more than two players to play this game? They would be divided into multiple subcommands on two teams, and may or may not have limited information on what their partners are doing (thus a real potential for friendly fire).

This would allow the game to be played much more quickly on large scale battles as each player has fewer units to control (I almost exclusively play TCP/IP). Would it ruin PBEM?

Some people do that when playing PBEM, but of course that costs a lot of time per turn.

For TCP play in this manner you need to check out TacOps, also on this site.

I downloaded the TACOPS demo and also read your review of it, Redwolf. Sorry to say though, i just didn't get what was going on and hence lost interest quickly. Maybe I should've read the manual more carefully. I hear it's pretty good.
