Automate combat?

[Squeegee]

I'll give that a try.

For some reason, I thought it wasn't a good idea to use for single player games, but I can't think of why. Doh!

Thanks!

OK, I tried it.

Now I can no longer do anything within my turn: like playing in a pbm game, I issue orders and they get done on my behalf at turn time.

Drats. I suppose this means there's no way to do it.

Such a simple thing that could make a huge difference in the spg.

Thanks for the input!

Just select the option "No Tactical Combat" at the beginning of the game. Or, always hit "Strategic" whenever the combat window pops up!

Ed, I think he's more refering to the AI's turn. If he is in a big game it could take several minutes to run each AI's turn and he'd have to OK it each time.

Thats exactly correct. I have it set for no combat already at the beginning of the game. Problem is that I can't start the next turn and walk away and get a cup of coffee or the like, because it will still be sitting there waiting for my to push the "Begin", "Begin", and "Close" buttons (in that order).
