Yeah I will happily be an alternate. Team games mean that even if a player loses tons of ground and sees the end coming, they can still help their team (and thus can still "win"). If someone is getting their rear end handed to them, fails the morale check, and routs from the game, I will step in and fight until the bitter, bitter end. I just don't have all the time to do the prep and nation tests that are needed in a team game like this.

(Hint to new players: Test your initial expansion strategy in single player first. Make sure you can get 20 provinces to your name by turn 10 or try again.)
