Fubarno -> Hot Seat Issues (3/17/2019 9:20:15 PM)

I’m playing the game with my son by hot seat mode but there are 2 problems.

1) when we save a game and then reopen it, different units are revealed based on the spying ability. Let me elaborate. I start a turn and some enemy units are revealed through the spying capability. I save the game. When I come back later and reopen my turn, a whole different set of units are revealed. This seems like a bug. My son also recognized that this happened on his turns. Anyone else?

2) I can’t seem to get an option to replay or show my opponents last move when I start my new turn. Is this a function that isn’t available in hot seat mode? If so it weakens the game. Players should be able to see what actions affected them on their opponents turn. Otherwise units just suffer casualties and have battles with no rhyme or reason. It just happened and you don’t know why. Did your fleet sink by aircraft, surface action or submarine. Did an armored unit destroy that corps and then fall back or was it a mass of air units and infantry formations. In hot seat I’ll never know unless my opponent tells me. I want to see the ebb and flow of the war during my opponents turn. Am I missing something and the option is available?

What, nobody plays hot seat?

Hi Fubarno,

Apologies for missing this post, let me look into this tomorrow and get back to you.

Cool!



Fubarno -> RE: Hot Seat Issues (3/30/2019 7:16:44 PM)

Any feedback Mr. Cater? No replay in hotseat? There’s an option for quick replay but whether checked or unchecked we have no replays of opponents turn.



Hubert Cater -> RE: Hot Seat Issues (4/2/2019 4:11:23 PM)

I've fixed the intelligence spotting issue for the next update and this should not only correct it for Hotseat but also for AI and PBEM++ games. The Hotseat replay is one for down the road unfortunately.

Hello Mr Cater. I’m playing my second game with my son. He’ll be 16 in a week. It’s a rocking good fight. He has the turn based strategy, war game gene., like his dad. We love this game. But, we can’t help but lament about how SC:WAW is extremely flawed without showing the opponents play when the turn is opened. I know PBEM has replay but we can’t seem to get an email game going from the same computer. Please fix the replay for hot seat play. Please!!!

Couldn't you just set up a PBEM game and play from the same computer?



taveston -> RE: Hot Seat Issues (5/9/2019 12:55:17 AM)

Is there a way to change your PBEM log in?

I think it's great that you're playing a game with your son! I know my father never understood my interest in wargames (I remember badgering him to pick up a copy of Desert Rats for my 48k ZX Spectrum when he was overseas and he had no idea what I was on about). That was my first hex-based wargame and nearly 40 years later I'm still going. My eldest is only 8 but I hope to enjoying wargames with him in 8 more years!

Unfortunately there is no way to play PBEM++ on the same computer, not easily anyways, as you'll need two registrations and serial numbers etc.

Glad to hear you are enjoying playing Hotseat with your son, something I hope to also do one day with my own son (or even daughter if she ever shows any interest) and we'll see what we can do to add a replay to Hotseat games. It has been on our list for quite some time, but we always end up never getting back to it with so many things needing to be continually done on our end.



Fubarno -> RE: Hot Seat Issues (5/17/2019 11:01:41 PM)

Thanks for the reply Mr Cater. My son and I are still playing and having fun, a couple turns a night. We are very excited for when we can view the replay on our turns, especially in regard to the naval and air portion of the game. Cheers!
