Additional Comments
Laptop is a Thinkpad R40 from 2003/4, with a Pentium M 1.4GHz. In Windows XP the game is playable, in wine it's way too slow, even if nothing is happening (singleplayer game with 2 AIs at startup). Comments: - Pentium M needs "forcepae" on the kernel command line to startup. - wine 1.6.2-20 from debian repos works fine - wine-development 1.7.29-4 from debian repos does not work: main menu shows black screen

Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working you have to use by now the directplay libraries from microsoft, still (since 2006) no open source libraries for direct play that include libraries to open sockets and close to play games, so install winetricks:
(in ubuntu/debian) sudo apt-get install winetricks
and then exec:
winetricks directplay
It will download the directplay libraries from microsoft and install them, that's all, tcp/ip will work with direct connect.
If you get only a black screen upon starting a game
winetricks ddr=gdi (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43627)winetricks csmt=off (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44796)
