PBEM - Can You View The Game After You've Ended Your Turn?

Post by rkr1958 »

I think I know the answer to this and I think it's no; but, I'll ask anyway. In a PBEM game after you've entered your turn (and sent the game to your opponent) is there any way to view the game? The reason I'd like to do this is review the game situation.

Sorry, you can't.

You could print the screen (or several screens) before you end the turn, however. Use key PRINT SCREEN/SYS REQ, then toggle out of the game for a moment. The screen image is in your system clipboard, you can open a word document, paste the screen and save it. If you want to save different views, zoomed in or out, doesn't matter---just repeat the process for each screen :D

Thanks. I had thought of that too but was wondering if there was an easier way within CEaW itself. However, I'll definitely use your suggested approach for reviewing a PBEM game at crucial points when I'm awaiting my opponents play. For example, when France is close to falling and my BEF has been mauled and is in danger of being destroyed.
