This my first EAW PBEM. Can someone please tell me how I can review a turn after I receive the replay file from the host? Thanks!

Same as cw2.
Tilde key (the one below esc), then press backspace in the console window and type loadreplay. Press space to start watching and pause the replay.

I guess it doesn't work for an Apple keyboard... I have my Mac partitioned so I can play PC games on it, but the keyboard is a little different... oh well... guess I'll have to figure out what happened by the battle results...

Try apostrophe key - next to return.

Thanks! That brought up the dialog box but when I tried to replay I got nothing... is that because I had started planning and saving my next moves??

1) Replay has to be turned on.
2) There has to be a saved replay file from the previous turn.
3) following the above - typing "load replay""return key" will begin replay.
4) "space bar" starts and stops replay.
5) "esc key" exits

Yes, make sure the host has enabled 'replay.' And, that the host sends you the replay file.
The ledger is also a potent review tool. Double click any of the information links on the bottom right. This brings up the ledger with all options. Or, you can individually review each information mode with a single click.

You have to be registered (and have a few posts, IIRC) to view the Paradox OT forum.
