So as well as getting someone to commit to probably a 4 or more hours solid chunk of time to play an involved game - you need to be on the same clock cycle. Or someone in say Finland has to play in his wee hours of the morning with his eyelids propped up by matchsticks against someone wide awake and fresh on the other side of the world.

Back in 1999 we all used to go the a Steel Panthers 3 chat room on MPlayer.com

There you would work out the details. Surprizingly most of the games played where multinational in nature. It would be like US vs GB usually, but you could purchase from any army.

I played three online games back to back in one night once.(8 hr's) My dreams were filled with troops moving around on a hex grid that night.

But there were bugs. Airmoblie was illegal because anti air units didn't fire at the helicopters. Sometimes a unit would die,but still be left on the map. It would show (0) men,but still could move. And it couldn't be killed.
