Feature Request: Switch Sides

Post by orosius »

Thanks so much for the great work on this game! One feature that I find helpful in learning game mechanics is being able to switch sides. After being tromped in initial plays of War in the Pacific and Strategic Command, I found it very helpful to switch sides and figure out what the ai was doing and explore multiple strategies. Since the ai's are already developed, my hope is that this would only require a switch (preferably as in Strategic Command). Many thanks!

Why not just setup a hotseat game and play both sides? Or is the goal to be able to see the other side as the AI plays?

MorningDew, Seeing how the ai manages supply and production is incredibly helpful. Also, amphibious assaults tend to be idiosyncratic in every WWII game.

But this would only function in AI games, I hope.
