What causes this?

Gents,

This will always happen on the first turn of a scenario. In which you move first and your opponent has not yet had a chance to enter their password. When then get the file they have to open it and watch the replay and then enter a password, when they want to end the turn or hit the save button.

Obviously it is possible for you to complete your turn and then immediately open the file again and yes you will see your opponents turn, as at that point there is no password locking the file.

Hence why you must always set a password

I have had this happen to me a few times in Team Games when I have forwarded the completed first turn to my opponents and team mates. Some of my team mates have opened the file, only to see all the enemy units, which can spoil the surprise if playig blind. I have since stopped this practice and always just forward the completed turn to my opponents only.
