you could try to specify the "Save Game Directory Path" so all players use the savegame file, but i don't know if that will work since i don't have access to a LAN.

no it won't work

This is strange... i am sure i could play hotseat like games on different computers :s And i had tactical combats vs my brother and we were not on the same computer. We just had to click end of turn then it was immediately the other player turn.

Was this possible in SE III?? after all it is just an automated file transfer that take 10 secs to code :s

Sequential movement mode was the only option in SE3.

There has never been the capability to play tactical combat versus humans on different computers in SE4.

Well.. thx for your answers but i know it was working but i can't remember how. I'll try to find.

Tactical combat is only available in sequential movement hotseat games. Without saving the game at the end of your turn and transfering it to your friend's computer somehow, you can not use sequential movement mode in a game that uses more than one computer.

You can most certainly not ever use tactical combat with more than one computer at a time. SE4 is simply not capable of this. It never has been and never will be.
