End of turn

Create a newfolder under saves. Call it F.X. Operation overlord. If your playing that scenario. (or what ever you like)

I like to created to 3 subfolders in my main folder. FX. under folder "operation overlord" create one called "axis", one called "allied", and one called "temporary mp saves".

When you get a new turn from your allied opponent, by mail. Download it and put it into the Allied folder.

When you save your turn after all your moves, and attacks. And the turn is finished, save it in the axis folder.

Name your turns chronological. FX. Overlord Axis turn 11.

Temporary saves!

If you are playing turn 12. And your wife/mother tells you to: "quit playing that stupid game and come and help me do the dishes!". save the game in the temporary mp saves. Rember when you want to restart your turn. Dont click the play email game button, but the continue saved game button.

Sending the turn!

Ok your turn is done, and you want to send the file, to your opponent.

Open up for preferred. Mail delivery progam : Hotmail. Yahoo. etc.etc.

Enter email adress of your opponent. (You will offcourse have gotten this when you agreed on a game.)

Attach your save file.

Write a few comments about the game and click send.

Hopes this helps.
