True, thats why it should be an option because not everyone would like to wait. On the other hand that was exactly the way some friends of mine and me wanted to play. It really makes no sense to not make it at least optional.

When playing "for" the AI, what's stopping you from just putting half your units in buildings and then march the rest of them up to your friends' line and let them get shot to pieces while deciding which direction to walk in? It'll be just like a single player campaign.

I think you're being a little harsh there. That sophisticated and refined strategy has been shown to be elegantly effective and efficient in all three theatres of ETW.

Oh wait... No it hasn't.

Sorry for double post.

You would need some sort of hybrid play by email and simultaneous play. Turn based campaign with real-time battles does pose a few problems.

I agree though, there should be an option as you describe. At least this is classed as a beta so you should be able to post a "suggestion" without CA resenting you for it.
