Possible Cheat in MP

Post by AEWHistory »

I am playing a game with Awaba and am switching back and forth between a Shenandoah game and BA. In my rush I didn't save my turn in BA even though I was most of the way thru it and switched to El Alamein and then back. When BA reloaded my turn was restarted, perhaps all of it--I need to look more closely. What this means is that I could use my knowledge of where his units are placed (those I know of) for my turn. I suspect I'm not the only player to have discovered this, but I felt it was worth reporting as it completely undermines the fog of war in MP as it allows a player to do most of their turn, find enemy units, and then redo their turn based on discovered info! Not good.

Awaba, if you're reading this, let me know what you'd like me to do. I'm fine surrendering as I have an unfair advantage. OTOH, I haven't discovered very much and can also try another work around to continue.

We track when users download a turn more than once (which you must do if the situation occurs as you describe). If we see users doing so we will issue them a warning, followed by more severe action should they fail to shape up and fly right :).

Your right but it says a lot about the calibre of your opponent it's happend a few times to me I try to replicate the move the best I can why cheat ? If you play the game often enough you'll know when someone's done it some strikes are impossible if scouts aren't nearby and there's no shame in losing that's why you have rematches ! But who'd have a rematch with a cheat
