No. I do it all the time. In fact, I do it every time. On every air, land and sea battle I hit end or escape before it's done.

However, what would be nice if hitting Return key, or any specific key would close the animations/combat reports - instead of having to move the mouse and click ion a tiny button to close the window.

Status: offline 		The combat report now has more detail than it used to.  Most battle reports have a location name and the hex coordinates too.  I don't have all the bases memorized, but looking at the coordinates I can usually get an approximate picture in my head.

The land combat reports now list the units involved.

The escape key will do this for you.

You are welcome! Remember that the escape key is your friend!

It will skip animations you don't want to watch, it performs the same function as the exit button on an open screen, and it will temporarily decrease message delays.

I find 0.5 seconds to be a fine setting. It's just long enough for you to be able to read the messages and short enough to not make you impatient.
