Or save a copy of the game to view locally? Obviously once downloaded locally you couldn´t do anything but view the game.

I find it quite frustrating to keep an AAR going when I can´t go back for screens and/or check things up after I finished the turn.

I would love such a feature. But I guess the demand isn´t that big.

Yeah, but I´m an idiot and keep forgetting!

And WitW seems to have a nasty habit of crashing when I alt+tab out during the turn so I don´t dare do that anymore. Otherwise I would write the AAR simultaneously as I do the turn.

Never heard of crashing reports because of alt-tab.
