Replay / review previous turns

First time poster, long time gamer
When we play Axis and Allies we start a game, whoever plays Germany starts, then saves when it's Russia's turn.
We then share this save game and whoever plays russia loads the game and selects local game, do their turn and saves and shares the savegame.This works very well.
However the one drawback is that one can not really see what the opponent did.What I propose is that save games would contain all moves and outcomes.
Lets say It's me playing Russia.Then I would want to watch what Germany just did and how it went down.
I'm thinking like this- Build phase, we simply see what they built in a summary screen.
Combat move
- First show all moves that doesn't actually result in any combat.
- Then take one country at a time and show all moves into the conflict one at a time.
- Once all combat moves are done/shown we enter combat.
Combat
- It would be nice to get battle calculator up so we can see expected outcome, and then we see real outcome so we can see which battles went good/bad
Non combat move
- We show non combat moves just like we showed combat moves.
Placement
- We show what they place where
Income
- We show raw income + any bonuses
Some notes/thoughts
- We need a very clear way to show each move (since one can move multiple items)
- We need a way to be able to step through slowly or just quick if we are in a step not of interest to us
- Placement also needs a clear way of showing exactly what was placed. (and if troops are left unplaces).
- Maybe a setting for if we want each save game to contain entire game history or just last round of each country.

It covers almost everything you mention here:
There already is a great "Show History" - feature included in TripleA.
Find it in "Game->Show History".
So load your savegame and enter this feature. Happy studies

@panther That is cool I have missed out on that!
Not the smoothest interface but it's all there!
I realize the coolest visualization is if you could show all countries that had any kind of battle, click it and see which troops moved in there and from where and be able to look at battle calc and expected outcome vs real outcome.But very cool that the data is there!
