How do you pause and un-pause games?

[Bill Odie]

I'm in the middle of a game that I've somehow accidentally paused and have got no idea how to un-pause, does any one know how?

Press the key labelled "pause"... (Normally "Pause/Break" key). Da dah!

Why is there even a pause mode in a BTS game?

pause is to let you stop the action in the middle of a turn. when you hit the next turn button, a lot of things may be going on and esp. if your computer is slower, you might have to wait through a lot of messages and action, depending on your game settings.

pause literally interupts everything so you can walk away from your computer or whatever if you suddenly need to leave. I never use it and it's probably overkill, but there you have it.

There's the turn timer. In SP it's in at least Defense scenario, but I've understood it's used in MP. Pause (at least in Defense scenario) stops turn timer.
