Having played a few PBeM games now I have a great desire to review the battle from beginning to end with a God's eye view. If the program could somehow store the replays over time and then when the game concluded produce a continuous replay with no FOW from start to finish. To be able to see the ebb and flow of the battle would be awesome. As long as I'm wishing here, it would also be nice to have an additional zoom out level and an option to turn off all the individual fire results. Then you could just see the units fly around on the board. Anyways......

You can do that now with the record feature. Under the Mode drop down, select "record"

When finished, open any scenario, then under file, select replay then select the desired BTR file.

Not sure if you ever viewed our YouTube Channel but there are a lot of videos there which are AARs of MP Games and offer a "God's eye view" of the action https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPA1ZQOXIZ8CIv8m4RoVRwA. There's also a written area with some AAR's from years gone by located here https://blakeacwgc.wixsite.com/afteractionreports

I have a new MP Game production ongoing at present. When it will be completed is still unknown but not until 2026 for sure.

This will work for a PBeM game? When I try to select "record" with PBeM mode I get an error message?

Actually, no, it won't work in PBEM. Sorry.
