A feature (premium only) which would allow for

a) the identical set up of a game to be replayed (eg same drop as game #XXXXX)
b) player order could be kept the same or changed
c) 'best of x' feature so that the same game drop could be replayed (or played simultaneously) with X number of players - each one gets a turn at the same hands automatically
c.1) winner takes all (mini tournament) (option?)
d) with the same dice tables???? - although I suspect this could be tracked and abused

Why is it needed: it is not NEEDED but wow it would be cool to be able to eliminate another random variable when trying to prove that you are better than another player.

ps this time I read the todo list and the reject list, and AFAIK this has not bee n suggested.

I'm not sure if the database stores everything in a way that could do that. All the logs it keeps would only let you know who defeated who where.

A replay where they don't show army numbers and just have colored dots for the players may be possible, although I don't think it logs the starting positions of everyone either. :-k

Not a bad idea though, but I know lack has a lot of other features he'd rather do first.

EDIT: I misread you, I thought you meant watching replays. There would still be the identical deployment problem though, as the initial deployment isn't stored anywhere as far as I know.
