A couple of newbie type questions

Serendipity ! I was throwing out old bookmarks and decided to do a quick search for Take Command related sites just in case there was any stuff out there..I loved the Bull Run games.
And lo, here is a site and team and game all alive.
So hi to all :)
I've read through a few threads and seen some discussion around what I'm about to ask but not read everything so apologies if they cropped up before..

Is it going to be possible to play the whole shebang- the 3 day scenario as single or multiplayer?
I've seen mention of sandboxes, some command questions etc but am still unclear if the 3 dayer will be possible either out of the box as a scenario or as something perhaps that can be set up by the player?

Excellent news that multiplayer will be in from the off-nothing better than a weekend devoted to beer and cannon fire..is there a limit on the number of players that can take part in MP?

While I'm here what is a sandbox?

Cheers!

Sandbox is the new name for open play. I will leave it to the guys of the team to answer the other questions :)

I'll answer the best I can.

It wouldn't be possible to do the entire three day battle in a single scenario because the battlefield is represented on 4 different maps. In theory, a modder could create long scenario's that would cover most of the action on each day, but all three days in one scenario wouldn't be possible.
is there a limit on the number of players that can take part in MP?
This is TBD. The most players we've ever had going is I think 5 or 6. In theory; there can be as many players as there are commanders, but we'll just have to see.
