I played original STW a lot SP, but never MP. By the time I got involved with MP, it was late in the MI days. Games did tend to drag because of the power of muskets--in 3v3 in particular, because there was no open flank and everyone just lined up across the map to shoot first. We played mostly 3v3 because 4v4 lagged badly, and 2v2 didn't satisfy most players, who wanted bigger battles. Personally, I preferred 2v2 to shorten the ranged war and put more emphasis on momentum and flanking.
