Most of the time when I obtain a spy report it shows the country concerned as having zero turns left. I do not think this is very often true so I take it that there is some glitch.

It's not a glitch. The op shows you the turns that the target country had when the player was last ingame.
It's then up to you to try to research when (s)he last played turns, and calc how many turns have accrued since then.

turns only update when you log into your country.

Thanks guys.

Although that seems a rather cack handed way for the spy op to work. Could the spy op not give the current position rather than the position when the target last logged in?

Well Furious999, if they did that, that would be too easy.

could always make it a standalone op in itself?

If it shows 0 I always just take it to mean the guy will have 12-18 hours of turns to play with when he logs in, unless it is express, the I assume something crazy is going to happen regardless of how well I plan it out.

It actually did that originally, and we fixed it to work this way to emulate how E2025 works -- that and because it gives you an indicator to know when they logged on.

Finally did the signature thing.
