Will you get a list or reply or something of your opponents moves? Because of the pan and scan way of looking at the map, I can see missing something important like a para trooper and a longrange ATR or a marine division moved somewhere on a cruiser.

I am not sure how to handle that.

There are conflicting demands on what appears on a player's screen: (1) he might want to see what his opponent sees, or (2) he might want to be examining something else and not be interrupted. There is also the problem of when several people are making moves on the opposing side, which major power's move do you see?

My original intent was to enable a 'replay' of moves, but that feature has been moved onto the ever-growing wish list for the future.

Anything that creates a land combat isn't going to be missed since there is the decision about notional units which precedes other possible responses by the non-phasing side (e.g., shore bombardment and ground support). Also, all impending land combats are indicated graphically.

But as for your opponent sneaking units around by sea, I have no ready solution.

How about a way to highlight specific (important) unit types so that they show up (e.g. a bright blip) on very high level map settings. Specifically, I'm thinking PARA, MAR, AMPH (or TRANS without Amhpib rule) units.
