Bubba883XL Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Even tho I'm a veteran of the series I was shocked to learn there is no 60 second replay when doing a multiplayer session. Maybe my mind was set back in cmx1 days. But I can't believe this is the case. Part of the reason I've always loved the replay on Wego is the immersion and cinematic feel to the game. Plus the pacing. Suppose what I'm getting at is this something possibly to add to the franchise in the next engine upgrade? P.s I've never tried playing via email. Is that have the 60 seconds replay? Cheers all. Bubba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holoween Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 You can playback. Depending on if youre attacker or defender after or before the new order phase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Yes, PBEM does allow for 60 second replay...You can try this out by setting up a 2 player game against yourself and sending files back-n-forth for a turn or two.

Commanderski Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 You can playback as attacker or defender if you are playing against the AI. Just make sure your not in Realtime. You need to be in 1 Player - Turn Based and then you get the regular playback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I should have expanded a bit. You’ll get a file that plays just like any other saved game file. IIRC (my comp burned out and replacement not here yet) email files is one of the Sort options in the Saved Game interface. I mostly used to use drop box when I played a real person and just cut and pasted so I’m a bit rusty about pbem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Watch YouTube @Josey Waleshe has numerous multiplayer games recorded. He wouldn't be able to do that without the replay function. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtHatred Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The 2 player turn-based mode is pretty janky and I wish it worked better. It's just an enforced pause every 60 seconds on real-time mode, but you can still move waypoints during play if you are ok with cheating a bit. It also has several bugs with fortifications that were supposedly fixed a while back, but have made a return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba883XL Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 having issues setting it up so we did a few TCP/IP games instead, via the black sea and shock force 2 demos, experienced some waypoint oddities for the first time, my bradleys went around a field not through it, was odd.... did look at drop box but they changed what they offer and i'm not gona pay some the crazy prices they were showing. still trying to just get some titles recognised via the CMH, was gona try and use it with my google drive if it would work, CMBN is all intergrated with CMH just fine but its the way they change the folders around which is screwing it up, why on earth did they change that? much prefer everything in one folder directory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I see @mjkerner gave you the answer - excellent. 2 hours ago, Bubba883XL said: did look at drop box but they changed what they offer and i'm not gona pay some the crazy prices they were showing. This still lists a free option: https://www.dropbox.com/individual/plans-comparison 2G should be enough for quite a few PBEM games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
