When you resign from a PBEM game should both players be able to see the game with fog of war removed, or only the player who did not resign? If I resign the game immediately goes grey in the lobby and there doesn't seem to be a way to see final troop dispositions, whereas the player who did not resign can log in and see these.

Same issue in War In Europe. There is a thread there on support on this.

I'll have to think about this as the server automatically marks the game as viewed when you resign (and switches the turn to your opponent), so with my current implementation there is now way to then have the server allow you to then both look at the turn effectively.

Couldn't you make it that if you resign it does its thing and saves, sends the update to the server BUT just turn off the FoW and not close the screen?

Hi John,

Yes if we currently had the option to resign in game and not just from the lobby, which is why I have to think about how to make that work as you've suggested.

Would be great for all games including of course War in Europe.
