Saved game

[Montana Grizz]

The 1.04 update provided us with a "save" count when it came to how many times your opponent "saved" the game before sending a final move.

We all know why this addition was created, but does it really address the issue :chin:

What it doesn't do is prevent a person from reloading the scenario as many times as they like until they are satisified with the result.

I experimented with the "reload" with a friend of mine. We didn't actually play a game, so I feel I am safe from sanctions via Blitz rules. Let's call it an off-Blitz contest with no results other than information.

I discovered that even the first round (Op fire and aircraft) might generate a different result given a number of attempts.

I found that one could obtain some recon information by sending units out to various locations and then simply reload the scenario and my opponent would have no idea I had done so. A sort of free look without potential penalty

Once you have overwritten your opponents file, you start from square one. Until or unless it is possible to determine how many times I've overwritten a file my opponent has sent me, then the "save" count means nothing!

If one is required in someway to go through the Blitz site before making a move, then I can see some value to "saves" otherwise I just trust my opponents, play the game and hope for the best result ;)
