PBEM replay

[HobbesACW]

Hi folks, I don't know if this has been posted before but both my opponent and I would sometimes like to avoid having to watch a replay. Sometimes you know there will be nothing worth watching especially in the first few turns. Sometimes it is too painful to watch when you know the end is nigh and you just want to get the game over with.

I would imagine a change to the game that allowed a player to avoid having to watch a PBEM replay wouldn't be too hard to make? Anyone else have any thoughts about this?

Well, you could go and make a cup of tea.

It isn't possible for us to make it so that you can skip the replay.

The replay is not a video. At the end of each player's turn, the game actually saves the situation at the start of their turn, and the list of events. It then runs through those events to display the replay and at the same time reconstruct the situation at the end of the turn.

A beautiful answer in a truly British style.
Is especially useful if you are still playing Pike&Shot.

OK thanks for the answer.
