is there some kind of game turn extender that could be added so that games that are nowhere near finished,..but that both players would like to continue,..could be added ..'check this box to add 40 turns extra at the end ' ..if both parties are up for it ..? only a suggestion,.. but i know a couple of old hands are thinking it.. and i bet a few others are too ...could even be a slider with 10 . 20 . 30 . 40 . 50 . turns added :0) .. ps .. when is soviet corps coming out? ..

There's a cheat code, but I don't think this would work for MP.
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-C
turns xyz
Replace xyz with a number of how many turns you want to add/remove.

You forget that a game also needs to be tested. Imagine doing that when no cheat codes are available to quickly get to where you need to be to perform such test ... but making it available to the general public is another matter.

i'm totally in agreement with cheat codes for s.p. ..i don't,..but imagine you have to re install,..you'd have to go through everything again..and for testers as stug man say's ..it's invaluable .. but not for m.p. ..that's just not on ..but what about us (widely overlooked) m.p. guys ? could we have an extender button?? pweeeze? ..we don't get much,..or ask for much ..any other multiplayer fans gonna back this up?

They are there for people who are willing (or enjoy) using them. No-one is forcing you to.

Just to avoid any potential confusion: The cheats only works in single player mode.

I bought the game, paid money for it, I get to play it anyway I want, with cheat codes and without. My money my choice.
And come on, you cant say that introducing Tiger Tanks in 1940 against France isn't fun

"and what a loser to use cheat codes"
--> i disagree, some months ago , i have discovered the game with the no fog cheat, it is changing completely the game! it is more stratégic. At last, u can see all the map with defenses and u can elaborate a real strategy : paratroopers? all on left? no more luck! no more the surprise to have let an ennemy unit behind who take after the city! with the chess mod, it is a at last a fabulous strategic game. Before, i was avancing in ennemy territory and just preying having make good choice, i was forced to load and reload so many games...

I confess - I use cheat codes! I use them mostly when modding, to try out ideas for tactics or more historic organisations, and to put right mistakes where I meant to do something and pressed the wrong control (but not when I simply misjudge something). And when 1.14 was the latest version, Reform Units was a cheat code and I used that a lot.
I move an aircraft over a target, there's a fighter or AA unit next to it, so I decide not to attack. But instead of moving to the next unit I get distracted and tell it to attack by mistake. The cheat code allows me to undo the damage from an attack I never meant to make (this would be in constant use if I was using a touch screen).
I forget to move one of the fighters that was on its way to the airfield to refuel because I had to help the neighbour, answer the door, check the cooking or whatever. If I hadn't bothered to check, it's a fair cop, but if I was distracted, why not fix it?
The important point is it's a game and you should play it in a way to make it fun. The cheat codes are there, but you don't have to use them - just like Valentine tanks.

The easiest way to add turns to a specific scenario, is to load it into the editor and change the number of turns and then save. You must also share this tweaked scenario with your MP opponent. This trick works before initiating the MP game, not during gameplay.
