()e main iea of t)e campaign is t)at it can .e playe .y multiple players (t)is version supports a
ma@imum ten players$. ()e players give orers to t)eir armies simultaneously, an t)e orers are
carrie out simultaneously, so t)e stanar 5player 1 ta:es a turn, t)en player 2 a turn, t)en ...5
structure is avoie. ()us a large num.er of players can play against eac) ot)er 1it)out )aving to
1ait for eac) player to move )is armies etc.
In t)e game t)is 1or:s .y eac) players giving )is movement orers, t)at are save in a file, 1)ic)
