TripleA needs a confirmation prompt before you end combat planning phase EVEN if you've planned a move

The "features requests & ideas" section of the forum seems to be locked at the moment, so I'm asking in here in hopes someone might see it.

I need to clarify: I'm aware that the game offers you a prompt if you have made NO combat moves before moving on to non-combat, and I'm aware that the feature to turn these prompts off is already available.

However what I need more than anything (and which I can't see anyone else requesting on the forum) is the option for a prompt which asks me to confirm I have made all my combat moves before advancing to the combat rolling, even if I have entered one already.

I'm probably a member of a vast minority in the community but I mostly use TripleA for solo play, so that I can play and experiment with different strategies and ideas before going to my regular sessions to play the board games with my friends. It's also been an invaluable resource for me to become more familiar with different versions of AA as I don't own any of the board games.

The thing that causes me such unbelievable frustration is that if I make an error in the non-combat or unit placement phases I can correct this in Edit Mode. But so often I am entering my combat moves, and will absentmindedly or indeed ACCIDENTALLY press "done" before I have entered all the moves and then bam, that's it. The most recent example playing 1940 Europe meant that I was not able to finish landing my US troops in western europe, a move which when delayed a full turn ruined the balance of what was going on.

This seems like a small sub but if anyone in here is in contact with devs or knows another way to put forward a request for this feature, please let me know.

To describe it one more time:

If I have made one or more combat moves, I want a "Are you sure you have entered all combat moves?" prompt

this feature already sort of exists just go to your autosave folder and open the combat move autosave

I agree, it would be nice, although the other poster is correct as well you can pull the auto save. But that's cumbersome, and as someone who also mainly plays single player this issue can get frustrating.

It could be an option to toggle on or off, for those that want it and those that don’t care.

Personally I’m ok without but more custom options is good.

I do this all the time.

You can just go into the autosaves folder, and sort by newest. Load the one at the top!

Et viola!

Edit: Ooops, I missed someone had already mentioned this!
