Is there any way to pause during turn resolution? I know I can go quiet mode, but I don't mind the pace. I'd just like to pause it so I can take my dog out.

yep, I have the same request but not for the dog (i don't have a dog :-) ) but when the phone rings, i miss a part of the battle.

So far, I didn't find a way to pause. But Im thinking I didn't try to hip the puase key on the keyboard. I will try it but I don't think it will work.

Yeah, the pause key doesn't work. I also tried other popular pause keys, "p" and the space bar.

I think the game could use VCR like controls similar to Combat Mission.

You guys bring up an interesting point. I'll check with Rob and pass the idea along. It may not be as easy as it sounds to implement since it would have a different effect if playing LAN vs playing the computer. Then again Rob's a smart guy.

Sorry, there isn't an actual 'pause' function during turn resolution in the game currently but it would be easy to add and I will do so for version 1.04. I wouldn't ever want a dog to suffer!

Cheers, Rob.

Well I don't know about 100% but it is steadily improving. Also, I put a 'pause' key function in yesterday when I had the unexpected opportunity. For games other than AI vs AI and LAN, pressing the Escape key during turn resolution will pause the game. It will stay paused until you hit the return key or click on the Proceed button on the dialog that appears. That should do the trick.

Thanks Rob. Adding the pause function is extremely helpful while playing under real life conditions.

I can't wait to play the game with 1.04.

I didn't write it clearly but the pause function made it into 1.03! There was one more bug elsewhere that caused me to do a recompile and since I had already thought through most of the game pause function I slipped in what I had into the 1.03 build. It was the absolute last thing to go in!
