Hi Matt,

So, good news and bad news. The good news is, you CAN play together without having to get a bunch of other people involved.

The bad news is, to do so you do need to handle some of the technical aspects of hosting an online league. Essentially, one of you will need to be the "commissioner." That person runs the league, while the other person just does their GM stuff.

To do this, you need somewhere to host your league files. You might want to hop over to the Online Leagues subforum. I think there are some people who offer free hosting for online leagues, but it's not something I know much about.

Additionally, it's important to note that OOTP doesn't support head-to-head playing of individual games. So while you are going up against your mate from a GM perspective, you won't actually be able to manage individual games against him.

Good luck!
