Noob Query re. phased v. continuous-play mode

[neonlicht]

1. In general, playing in Phases let's you to avoid some non-historical game engine use (like a unit move into hex, fires, moves out. Then the other unit move into the same hex, fires, moves out. Then the other unit moves into the same hex, fires, moves out. And so on). So it will give you better simulation of the warfare.
2. So Phases in the preferred way to play against AI.
3. When it comes to PBEM, unfortunately, playing in Phases will increase number of turns by factor of 4. So, everyone plays in Continuous mode only due to this reason.

Hi and many thanks for this -- ah, OK, I get it now! Thanks again. :-)
