Greeings,
In short, how can I restart a mp session
by loading a saved game?
I failed to find this anywhere manuals or menus. Running V3. US.
E.
btw, search of multiplayer & load
gives a result of 0 of 0 which clearly is wrong, I saw one post, no answer in the game
section.

Esobus,
I assume, from your use of the word 'session' that you do not refer here to hotseat/PBEM. I am also unsure if this is the same at AlphaHQ.net, although I presume it so. AlphaHQ.net and my rig don't seem to get along.
In IP play, this is how it works. You have clicked host and gotten the same screen you dot when you started the initial session. Simply click on the arrow on the line in the left panel where it says:
Type of game: New game on Standard map.
There will pop up a menu to load game, load map, or other choices I cannot now recall. Four in total, I believe. When you click on load game, you are taken to the save game directory, where you scroll and select.
BTW I don't recall the search function ever working in these forums.

wanted to know it, as it is the support
place!
Tnx!
