The possibility to select or deselect the UNDO option.
A recon unit is useless, as I can spot terrain with my tank or infantry by selecting a hex, find a out there is no enemy around, undo my turn and select the next hex.
This is a real cheater in my opinion.
Having written this, I don't actually know whether the option is already available !!

Then don't do it.
Undo needs to be enhanced as every player uses it in MP. It destroys the game. Can never set up an ambush.
A compromise is to allow only one undo for every land unit. That will help some.
Otherwise eliminate it, except for recon. Only negative is that a player can get an estimate for mass attacks. That's why the compromise works well.
Wow, I just would never think to use the undo in such a way. Yeah – that is cheating.
But I have used the undo to see what my attack odds will be between mine and two enemy units (that I can already see though) I do this just to see which one I want to attack. But 99 times out of 100, I have already determined ahead of time that I will attack one of the two.
Wondering if you would think that was cheating too? Or is it what it really is for me – being too lazy to figure out the odds on a fight before committing to it? As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war – but I still try to be more honorable than that.
Like you comprise idea though – assuming this is as big of an issue as it is sounding to be.
One of my MP (non-password) games I have noticed my opponent doing this very thing. Every turn in each area of the map: move one space – undo – move two spaces – undo – move three…. Etc. – and then precision attacks. Each and every turn.
Ummm… Fog Of War was “on” not “off”. If I wanted you to see where all my units were and what they are before you attack I would have made the FOW as “off”.
Definitely not right and a BIG hole in the ever praised “balance” of the game.
I will be canceling that MP game now and look for someone with a bit more honor.
