Would it be possible to add the option of playing the game in Hot Seat mode? At the moment I am enjoying battling the AI, but in the future I would definitely want to play both sides at once. (For instance, I play War in the Pacific and ACW exclusively in Hot Seat mode.) Really enjoying the game so ...

My guess (for what it's worth) is that it has something to do either with the interface (notice in my pic how I was able to choose simultaneously all the interception options - minimum, half, full forces - I was able to roam the map, but the ok -or the cancel - button in the interception window did...

The one time it happened to me, in the full war scenario, it was the first scenario (a save game) I opened.

I am using the full WWI Gold game (not the upgrade kit), purchased over at Matrix Games.

Interceptions did work for me when I tried the Tannenberg scenario though, so the freezes does not happen all the time. I guess one just have to make sure to save before hitting the end turn button in the Military Phase.

Got the same kind of freeze during army interception as well. One of the Austrian armies in Galicia intercepting the Russians. I'm playing the full two player campaign as the Central Powers.

Using WWI Gold, by the way. (Not the upgrade kit.)
