What i would do first of all is cease playing that guy,instead of going down the same road and doing the same dirty trick to other honest potential opponents.
Screen saves of rosters before first turn or last turn would catch it,
Too bad vermin like that are exploiting the game  |
Yeah, but the thing is that it's my buddy who I often play in casual hotseat games on a laptop (Laptops saved the hotseat format!) He is stubborn and cheap about things like this; that's why I posted to see if there was a way to disable it from the start (outside of a gentleman's agreement.)
It's really annoying though and I hope you guys never come across it. Here is an example of how good this exploit works:
I pound 2 Thai rifle squads dug in on a hilltop fortification ring with the heaviest Japanese off-map artillery for 30+ turns, Z fire them with 5 rifle squads for numerous turns when I was in range, roll a type 97 1 2 hexes away and empty out 3 shots plus machine gun fire and the next turn he miraculously rallys his squad, moves it out into the open, takes 2 shots from the 97, 2 shots from a covering and previously hidden rifle squad, is still able to rally, assaults & destroys the 97. Imagine how frustrating this type of thing is when playing out for an entire match?
