We occasionally get complaints that we don't follow the rulebook for press, since we allow discussion during builds and retreats (and the rulebook expressly forbids this).

So! We've added a new press mode that follows the rulebook - where there is no discussion available during builds and retreats (although you can still see messages sent during the discussion phase, and still write notes to yourself).

Since there is no discussion during builds/retreats, any orders can only be "readied" - there is no save button. This might be of interest to the live game community- who occasionally play games with agreement to ready builds and retreats anyway - and this press mode may enable slightly faster live games.

It will also be useful for Diplomacy purists, or players who want to practice their FTF negotiations (where builds/retreats must be discussed in advance, possibly before you know which units are retreating or how many builds your alliance will have).
