What works
Apart from the DirectPlay DLLs (see below), I had no problems at all. Played the game in single player and multiplayer (over LAN), with exprimental resolution and 3D acceleration. I didn't seem to have any performance issues.
What does not
Playing with wine's DirectPlay implementation, I needed to install the official DirectX ones.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Playing through the game (though I've done it before, in older versions).
I didn't test the experimental OpenGL DirectDraw renderer (the wine one, not to be confused with the game's accelerated mode).
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
Requires you to override the DirectPlay DLLs to make sure it uses the native (windows) ones. I know I used to have problems with the OpenGL direct draw mode, though I didn't bother with testing it now.

Multiplayer can work, but requires some setup first.
The problem is with the current DirectPlay implementation. Read here how to set it up: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames
To get multiplayer working for games that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8, place the following DLLs:
dplayx.dll, dpnet.dll, dpnhpast.dll and dpwsockx.dll in this archive in WINE's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) with WINECFG.
