Alot of times I wont check a port for a few days and I will miss a new ship or airgroup or LCU coming in. That gets annoying...

The OPs report file size needs to be increased. It seems to cut off the last lines and that is where the new units messages are.

Also both players see the same turn playback, so it would mean you opponent would know you are getting those reinforcements.

I believe this is deliberate. You didn't get this info in PBEM games in UV either. My understanding is this was done because both players see the same replay and that's not the kind of intel you want to give your opponent.
