Ya'll are gonna kick my ass - especially if this has already been requested. But here goes...

So I'm at work and I get mail saying a turn has been made.

I would LOVE to be able to log my online account into the web site and look at the state of the map after the move. I don't need a fancy rendering of the ground. It would be nice, but a simple graph colored by movement is fine, with a simple rendering of unit types with a key.

Even cooler would be back and next buttons to look at the state throughout the game.

Even cooler would be being able to walk through other peoples games like this if you have a valid MA online account.

This all assumes you save such state on your servers - but why wouldn't you. :)

Admitedly this opens the slippery slope of 'hey, why not just enable letting me make my move over the web too' - but I would never request turning you guys into java/web programmers - the game rendering/interface is quite sweet! My employer would also not be pleased by the loss of productivity I think.

Well - just a note. Still learning, still not any good - but still trying to get better!

Great idea!

May be one has already visited my colleagues but for me, it looks pretty fresh.

I guess this option would be added in MAN (Massive Assault Network) as a part of its extended online stats.

Strange this should come up, cause i too pondered about this a couple of days ago.

I think it would be magnificent if the hole game could be played via http as i think it would really kickstart the community. Provide free play on a couple of maps through your favorite webbrowser, including multiplayer -
and enable easy access to full game through download (payable ofcourse).

The ones that chooses to pay will get the 3d game, rankings, tournaments, awesome support etc etc.

I'm pretty sure this would be a great benefit to the MA community. As the cable guy said it: There's no end to the possibilities :=)
