Do you watch and then plan, or make your move immediately?
Please indicate whether you always, sometimes, or never, watch the replay and then move immediately. Some players will watch the replay, then think for a variable amount of time before making their moves. Are you a planner, or do you fly by the seat of your pants?
If you run, you'll only die tired.

One hand on the wheel, and one in the flame,
One foot on the gas, and one in the grave.

RE: Do you watch and then plan, or make your move immediately?
I ususally plan before I start the scenario, adjusting as little as possible in response to my opponent's moves. If your opponent is making you change your plan you have already lost half the battle.

I thought if I didn't plot immediately after the replay (but re-load it some time later) that would increment the possible_cheater_found counter somewhere.

No. There is a save counter, that is all. And the save counter can only count to two.

RE: Do you watch and then plan, or make your move immediately?
In the past I used to watch a replay of my opponents move and then take some time before repsonding but was accused of dishonest play so now I complete my turn without stopping play by saving and returning later. Where do members stand with this type of play. I am referring to watching an opponents turn, saving it and returning later to complete.

Ahh... The famous save-counter discussion Helmet Smile

For the record I am perfectly ok with people saving their games, going off to do something else, then returning. And for the record, I always save after having watched the replay, even if I have time to complete the session in one go.

Never heard of such a thing. What's wrong with that? It's your turn. Watch the replay and think all you want, as far as I'm concerned.
