Can mods create a new spyop so we can spy on history? Spy ops History that is.

Defeats the purpose. They are SPIES. You're supposed to not be able to track them, unless they fail.

I'm sure someone stole things from syko or a friend of syko's and without being able to see spy history, there's no real way to track beyond play times, nw changes and turn usage.

Nah, spies being caught doing their mission is the only indication you should have, IMO.

Allowing you to spy on previous ops would defeat one of the interesting wrinkles of that mechanic -- providing ambiguity if executed correctly.

If you're concerned about oil theft/stock stealing etc late in the round then I would suggest a mechanic that allows you to dedicate spy resources to your stockpile. This could mean that a certain amount of your stockpile is protected (maybe make it an absolute, like 1 spy protects $1000 or 10 barrels of oil or something) but those spies are not available for general ops on/by your country and wouldn't count toward your SPAL.

So it could make a country more immune to being opped for stock stealing, but it would open it up other ops and deplete its ability to perform offensive ops.

Just a thought.

I am open to ideas, in order to make it balanced. I am not against Pangs Idea. I kinda like it, nothing wrong with evolving the game, it just adds a new challenge. But of course, if a majority of people are against it, better not do it, or we will become an even smaller community.
