One of the more popular versions I have seen on the GeneralsCollective (link is in my profile) is played by each player in turn, and the saved game then sent via email to the next player. Battles are fought by autoresolve. The drawback is that you actually have to trust all players to play fair (ie no cheat codes etc.). Doing this version of the multiplayer campaign actually involves installing a small program on your computer. There are a variety of other versions out there. I think Stig regularly plays in one of them, iirc. If you want to play battles against your brother, you have to have two computers.

Basicly you would just auto resolve human vs. human battles. In Star Wars; Empires at war when playing the campaign u faught each other. BUT you cant fight the rebel(pirate) faction. It auto resolved them. so what is stoping MTW from making it so Human vs. Human battles are auto resolved. and why would u want to go to war with your human next to you anyway? and if you both attack the same person at the same time you can easily control their men or set one to AI control. Pluse I dont think they would have called it Hotseat if it was a lan type thing they would have used the term LAN lol. But i could be wrong idk we will see lol
