PBEM Question

I'm playing my first PBEM as the Allies, but I can't view the combat phase of the game. After the planning is finished it saves for me to send to the opponent, then the next file I get only allows me to plan again. How do I see the combat?

Your opponent has to send you the *.001 Combat replay file and the turn file. It is also good if he sends you his combatreport.txt file also so you can check if your replay is correct. [:)]

Where exactly is that combat replay file?

How does the game know which "player-side" is viewing it? Just curious, does it read a serial number and match that se# to the player side, or something similar?

in the "save" folder

the japanese player automatically sees the replay

the american player selects the *.001 file to watch the replay and then selects the saved game file to move his or her units
