No this does not have to do with the forum, though it is clearly a little buggy today.
What I have seen is a bug dealing with the VCR replay. More specifically, interrupting the replay.
I was playing a nice battle, US vs Japs 1/42 and was kicking butt from my nice entrenched positions. Anyways, I accidentally hit the V key, and pow, the replay starts normally. Luckily I remembered that the . key was supposed to stop the replay, so I pressed and held it till the replay stopped. However, the battlefield situation after I pressed the button was not the same battle situation I had when I pressed the v key. Apparently, when I stopped the replay, instead of bringing me back to the current battlefield, I was given an opportunity to rewrite history. The battlefield situation was exactly the same as it had been the moment I stopped the replay.
Example: In one area of the battlefield before I pressed the V key, there was a 4 man infantry squad which I had been pounding for most of that turn, and during op fire. After I stopped the replay, the squad was back at 15 men, the same strength it had at the end of my last turn.
So anyways, I pressed the V key again, figuring it would bring me back to the present if I let it play through, and as well as I can remember, the situation on the battlefield was like I had left it before pressing the V key. I saved my game and tried it again. I pressed V, and stopped it midstream. Sure enough, I was allowed to rekill squads I had already killed. It seems that when you press the . key to stop the replay, you are given the situation as it is currently displayed in the replay. I think it treats this as the beginning of your turn. As far as I could tell, the units all had the shots they should have had, if indeed my turn had started at that moment. I didn't check all my units, after all, I had 6 companies worth, but the ones I did check had all the shots I would expect, based on their status and previous use in the battle.
I apologize, this is a little long winded and probably difficult to understand, but I don't see any reason why you folks couldn't reproduce it. If you want, I still have the save game after I had let the replay run through. But tell me quickly, because I will overwrite it in a few days if you don't.
