It really depends. Sometimes I manage to sneak in a fleet of two or three subs near a major city like Moscow or London. If that's the case, I'll usually have them blow their load immediately and cross my fingers. Other than that, I've found that patience really pays off. In a Europe vs. Africa game ...

You can't fight in here, this is the War Room! The president to general Turgidson and the Russian ambassador moments after their struggle -caused by the general trying to plant a microcamera on the ambassador- is broken up.

I have a similar problem. I've set Windows Firewall to accept both the game and the ports it uses, and I've opened the ports on my routers too. Even after setting my LAN IP as a DMZ, the game still won't work. Trying to delete the config file didn't work.
