cease fire

[voncasey]

when using cease fire with pbem game, do the moves entered before cease fire (on the same turn) count, or is cease fire the extent of the turn??

Cease fire takes into effect the moment the other side agrees to it, so any moves (or fire missions) plotted or in progress do not count.

thanks king

but was wondering if i decide to try cease fire and do not know if my opponent will immediately agree and hit cease fire.................will any 'plots' i make (on the same turn i hit cease fire) take effect, or does cease fire nullify my moves (assuming my opponent does not immediately cease fire)?

The game continues as normal until the second player activates the ceasefire command.

As an example, you could secretly activate ceasefire on turn 1, and as long as your opponent does not activate his CF command, you could play as normal all the way to the scenario's time limit. The moment he activates his CF the game ends.

The only exception to this rule is if the computer activates the automatic ceasefire, but this is only done when it determines both sides have spent their forces and neither can alter the remaining game with what they have left.
