As Mike said in a different thread I have been a lurker for a very LLOOONNNGG time because I have been satisfied to read the posts from people much more knowledgable and wiser than myself. I do have a question that even an idiot can ask. My wargaming history is primarily with ASL and in more recent times with the Steel Panther games. I no have problem investing large amounts of time (I need to get a life) in playing a game. How long should one expect to play a tcp/ip game? My buddy and I played a 30 turn SP3 the other night that took over 7 hours to play. The AAR game was to be 60 minutes (turns). Assuming pretty fast computers, good connection speeds and an average amount of time watching the turns play out (and saying "WOW that looks so cool" while you're watching) is a 60 minute game going to take an entire weekend and 2 cases of beer to play? I figure it should be somewhat faster than igo/ugo because both players will be plotting at the same time so that cuts down on the time spent watching while the other player does his turn.
Thanks
(P.S I hope Simonfox isn't disappointed with me because I didn't beg for the demo)
