Procedure for Resigning in a PBEM Game

Post by canuckgamer »

In the PBEM we were playing, I opened up the move, viewed the replay and clicked to the Planning phase. At that point I saved the game. I then resigned and now the game is no longer there.

Should I have resigned before even viewing the replay? For example, highlighting the game then immediately click Resign?

I've also noticed that the only way I can access my move is to always log out and then log in.

Finally a question about the casualty screen. There are two columns headed by the red cross. I assume the first column is the number this turn and the second one labelled Total is the total for the scenario. Are the losses killed or killed and wounded?

That's what happens...but I can't explain the technical reasons behind the "why".

Same here. Something new going on with Matrix servers. St Ruth is aware of this recent issue. We'll see what happens.

Your assumptions are correct about the columns.

The losses encompass all types of casualties for personnel: Killed, Wounded, Missing in Action, and Prisoners of War.
