I agree, would be great!
But It would be even better for suspense/immersion to have more details during the turn resolution! (similar to the sequence during player turn?)

What if battle reports was saved as a txt file, like a log file or data dump and we can open them up and view it while waiting for the turn resolution outside of the game. I know SE will work fine when computing if you alt tab to desktop (maybe not on older computers).

So we could view these saved files in wordpad which would be better than nothing. The filename could have round/turn number and regime name of the target/attacker and a report/log number.

Or would this idea still be compromised with what Vic said about memory in terms of formatting the data to write to file?

[I just noticed DeMangler already suggested a log file]

That would add a huge information leak in Multiplayer. Every enemy the savegame+logfile is passed through could just read the file, knowing where each combat happened (and thus were your armies are).

This is simply not a thing that can be fudged. It needs to be done right or not at all.

I haven't yet tried MP, so i didn't think of that. But perhaps the log reports will be only specific to your own regime battles only, so players will not be able to see reports from other player regime battles just their own.
