As I’m sure you know, battle replays were one of the things most in demand by the Total War community. Actually, the game always had a replay function which was used for debugging. Recently, however it has been discovered that this can be made to work in release versions too. It was built as a debug feature, so there are a few drawbacks, but in general it works fine. Here’s what to do:

To Record Battles.
To turn on recording you need to run Shogun from a command line prompt with the command line ER. Each battle that is fought will be recorded to a file in the dumplog folder. Unfortunately, recordings are always saved to the same file name, so each battle that is recorded will overwrite the previous recording.

To Replay a Battle
Start Shogun from the command line with the command line mEP. This will replay the most recently recorded battle. At the end of the battle, all the troops will freeze.

However one very important fact here, is that if you want to swap files to watch each others' battles you need make sure you are running identical versions of STW MI/WE. That will mean the same patches etc. This should also work with Shogun Total War, but this has not been fully tested yet.
