Hmm, how many of the single scenario games did you play and beat
before you started the campaign. If you haven't beaten at least three
or four of those on normal-hard then you probably just haven't had
enough practice.

F2 to chat. Probably your opponent. Not that much bandwidth required
for this game. Did you win? Perhaps your opponent is on to something
and is considering many alternatives and their future implications and
trying to anticipate problems and prepare for them and... well you get
my drift.

There are numerous HOMM 2 pages out there, try searching for them, you
should find about 7. Most have strategy. There is also a strategy
guide out by Prima.

Press <F2> to chat. This was inadvertantly left out of the manual.
The first turn takes 20 to 60 seconds to transmit. Subsequent tunrs
take less than 5 seconds, so if you're waiting 5 minutes, it's because
your opponent is slow.
