Question: Number of active players

[Suhiir]

Depends what you mean by "many".
Sure it's not millions, but probably in the thousands.
But most folks aren't really interested in simulations.
They want "bang bang shoot em up real time first person action".

Try your typical zerg rush in WinSPMBT the AI will eat you for lunch, and another player won't even break a sweat.

It can work. If the opponent is not ready for it.
I remember 5-6 years ago against a very good player, I placed like 80% of my armored forces to break through the north part of the map and then mopped up from the flank.
Sure, it only worked once against him, but it was still doable.

As for how many active players there are. I guess it depends on what you mean active.

I consider myself active, but I haven't played in about a year due to other issues.
I plan on playing again this Summer.

I guess he learned the hard way why having a reserve at all times is necessary.
