I normally agree with you, but it is a greens game, so misunderstandings of mechanics I'm a little looser on here. Assuming above is accurate sounds ok. Any combat happen?

Yes, combat occurred. I don't feel strongly on this one, but would be inclined to support a reload.

Apologies for stalling the game over it, but it's one of those things that's so dumb it would make me want to ragequit. I hope Aetryn won't mind (and I doubt he would) when he sees what it was (after the game is concluded, right?)

I've made enough dumb mistakes this game that I'm totally sympathetic to other people doing so. No worries about stalling the game.

Ok so with 3 lurkers for and 1 against we should grant it and get the game moving again. Who has perms?

Thanks! It happens to be the case that I organise a bunch of PBEM games for the original Age of Wonders, and I always encourage people to reload mistakes; so while my occasional begging for a liberal idea of reloads is self-interested, it's at least not hypocritical.
Also I instantly mis-moved a unit after logging in

So in general I agree with this; I find that the best way to learn from mistakes is to have them actually matter, unless they are of the kind that it's too stupid to let stand.

Sounds like this might be a case of the latter? I only know what's posted here in the tech thread though.
(Whenever I play a new boardgame with people, I do allow them one free takeback though, as it's easy to misunderstand consequences)

Cards on the table: 2/3 of the remaining players have indicated they would be willing to concede. However, every player has indicated they are still having fun, so it is up to you what you choose to do with that information.
My one note would be that this has been a remarkably even, phenomenally paced(record-breaking?), good-spirited and generally well-played game, even for a "greens" one. It has even (selifshly) been very self-reported. Y'all should be proud, whatever you choose to do.

See bolded. But ya if you guys are having fun up to you. I know our multi player games generally don't get this far in the tech tree which I fully understand is both stressful but also get to use units completely differently than single player. I also am fully aware it can be a drain, but up to ya'll.
