What's wrong with charging exactly? (From the very few videos we have seen.)

I wholeheartedly second this above. The ability to watch a replay, full fidelity or just high level as pictured, is fantastic. Sid had it yes (and it was awesome), but it's also available in another game I play a lot called Wargame: Airland Battle and it's wonderful. Especially in multiplayer cases my friends and I love watching an engagement replay and discussing at any particular point what we saw and what we thought the other was doing. In games with fog of war this is a great addition to learn from your mistakes and see how various tactics or battlefield strategies work or not. Also if people use this game for competitive play at some point, scouting your opponent is sometimes a part of the gaming process. Lastly, the ability to put your AARs up on Youtube/Twitch and laude your prowess in various online communities is great PR for the game. Regardless, great project so far. I'm excited to play and will be looking at your first opportunity to throw my money at you.
