Actually, if the stochastic dice rolls were ok, there would be no problem. Battle replay is based on recalculating the battle resolution, which requires dice roll to be deterministic. It is not a problem by itself, because the RNG Illwinter is using (and most of RNGs I guess) produces fixed sequence of numbers for a given seed. The problem came out, because additional stochastic element was added by order of subexpression evaluation.
