RE: Puzzle
Basson,

You may have gotten hit by the "out of sync" bug. It can affect the accuracy of the Allied replay quite significantly. Attacks can appear to have drastically different results than actually happened. Supposedly, there are a few things that can lead to an out of synch turn, like straffing PT boats, and possibly hitting escape in the middle of a replay. There used to be more causes, but the various patches have reduced the number of out of synch turns quite a bit.

There are a couple of ways to check this. Hog of War is correct that both sides are supposed to see the same replay. So if something looks out of whack, you can:

1. Ask your opponent what he saw on his replay; or

2. You can also ask to see his combatresults.txt file, which is just a running text file of the combat results in the replay (it does not reveal anything you couldn't have seen in the replay). From what I understand, the Japanese player's combatresults.txt file is always correct, since the Japanese player "runs" the turn.

If the Allied player's replays get out of synch, there is a method to re-synch them. It should be available on the Matrix WitP forum. If you can't find it, I can probably track it down. Btw, what version of WitP are you playing?

Mike
