Multi Player games

[Stejones82]

Just curious, gents, has there been much dabbling in the Squad Battles system of multi-player (MP) games? I know of the Tarawa Behemoth that did not seem to be a positive experience for some of the players.

I am in the "Umpired Team" game - but that has individual pitted against individual. I am talking about stock scenarios in which two or more players play one side vs two or more players on the other side. I used to enjoy these type of matches in the Early American War series, but perhaps that system was more suited.

I know games can be logged as Multiplayer for Blitz ladder purposes, but has there been much MP game play?

Thinking about the recent Falklands tournament scenario - that could have been played as one British player against two Argentine players (northern and southern attack groups).

Anyway, I have found the communication and even bravado/ trash talk accompanying these MP affairs to add to the entertainment value of the PBEM gameplay. But then again, as most of my regular opponents know and can confirm, I am a bit of a "Chatty Cathy."
