Start the game
   
2) Select TCP/IP (LAN)
Select TCP/IP (LAN)
   
3) 1) You will get to a menu screen (Screen1) from which you will be able to create a game (if you are the host) by pressing the CREATE button and you will be sent to a menu to choose which mission to play (Screen2) or, if you want to join an existing game, simply select it from the list, if you see nothing try to press the REFRESH button, in case the game got hosted after you arrived.

4) In both cases (either you being a host or a client) after choosing, you will be sent to the ingame lobby (Screen3) from where you can choose your Commandos, chat and select the difficulty level. When all players have chosen one or more Commandos,
the host (and only he) can start the game by pressing START or can load a previously saved game by pressing the QUICKLOAD button (CTRL+S to quicksave during a game, CTRL+L to quickload)

Playing Commandos 2 by IP through the internet

2a) If you are the Host: Select "TCP/IP (INTERNET)" (Screen4) You will see a new line appear, saying SERVER ADDRESS.
In there you must type YOUR OWN IP ADDRESS (to find out what your IP Address is, go here).
Then you will get to the Sessions screen (Screen1) in which you will have to press the Create button and choose an available mission from the list (Screen2).
