I fell asleep watching a turn replay. I woke up five minutes later after it was over.

Pretty soon I’m going to need a bathroom break halfway through moving my troops, lol. (I laugh now but in ten years who knows?)

Guilty of falling asleep with my laptop on my stomach more than once while playing.

I'm 78 years old and have experienced the bathroom breaks but never fallen asleep while watching a replay or making my turns. However, I have sat looking at the screen after a replay wondering what I just saw. I guess this lets me know what is in my future about 10 years from now.

In your defense Ned, if you watched one of my replays, you'd be wondering what the heck I was doing...... :mrgreen:

Blake,

I can't say I have fallen asleep sitting up, never been my nature. But the bathroom break, yeah, I am lucky if I get by with only one!

I learned to nap standing up in Boot Camp. Came in handy for those Friday afternoon parades. Take a nap while the speeches were made then wake up when the pass in review command was given. :D

Never fell asleep during a replay, but I have had to stop and take a nap in the middle of doing a turn.

Yes, Blake. Just wait. Falling asleep during a replay and a bathroom break will be the least of your worries, my friend.

Play with on map results turned off by you and your opponent. That way it will stop at every fire / Melee event that way you will not miss much LOL
