Not all of the messages get played in replays. PBEM replay may differ from own-game replays as well. Replay has always been an oddity of the SP system, and I have never really investigated the obtuse code that is involved in it.

At least the game does have a replay function - it was added as a bolt-on update to SP1 way back in 98 or so, after the game had been out a year or 2 anyways. I think that was also what required an upgrade in the RAM to the full 4MB that MSDOS could handle.

Prior to that, SP1 had no replay whatsoever - you just opened up your game after a PBEM turn and stuff had blown up. A convention arose for PBEM players to sent a narrative description to their opponents when doing PBEM.
