I was wondering if anyone knows whether the game has safeguards in place to prevent someone from repeatedly loading their game turn to achieve a favorable combat result?

Also, are communications informal (email?) or is there a built-in mechanism for sending messages between players?

Thanks!

It is highly recommended that you know, or at least verify the real name behind the screen name of each member of your playgroup, because there is nothing preventing unscrupulous players from reworking their turns.

Diplomatic communications can be made using any preferred medium (email, phone, ftf, flags, signal fires, drums, etc). The program supplies two buttons, one to the major power that you have selected on the map and the other to all players. When either button is used, it will open up a blank email, with email addresses and subject field filled in for convenience, or you can use another email account to communicate and send files(s).

Enjoy

Not to be a bother BuT, there is a common technology available to ensure the series of rolls can not change in a turn. While this would still allow one to change the order of attacks, that by itself can be controlled and can be obvious when done repeatedly.
