Is this version playable via network (or internet)? I once owned an original copy (year 2000 or so) and network play simply didn't work, no matter what I did.

There's a LAN emulator you can get called Hamachi thats pretty much designed for exactly this problem(Well probably for boring business problems but who cares about them, they're boring!), simuates a LAN over the internet. Pretty sure its freeware. Have a google

I've player with Skreczi and Tirpitz, they shot me down, even beeing in my team!
Multiplayer works in that way:
- both (or more) player starts the game
- one of them decide to be a server and finds out what is his IP (Start Manu -> Run -> cmd, then enter "ipconfig", w/o quotes, and you'll find out what's your IP number is)
- other players goes to Multiplayer and choose TCPIP/Direct Play, and enter SERVER IP number
- server then starts the game, choose mission, as you do in single player mode
- other player goes to the same window with missions as server, and waits to his mission (should be yellow on the list) to appear
- click on it, and here you are...

Just wanted to add that ipconfig does not return your internet IP if you are behind a router. It will then just return 192.168.x.x, your LAN IP. Try www.whatismyip.com or something similar.

Grah, could you confirm if the Dynamic Campaing works in Multiplayer Mode?
Thanks.

Aliasalpha: I never thought about Hamachi since I have public IP, but it might overpass any possible problems and conflicts...
Grah: Nice "step by step manual" :-)
