1st Japanese turn: Japanese player enters password, gives orders, ends turn, saves game (to whatever number that was decided upon for the PBEM game). Then Japanese player zips the save-game file ("sav???.dat") and sends the zip file to the Allied player.
1st Allied turn: Allied player unzips file received from the Japanese player and loads the saved game. Allied player enters password, gives orders, ends turn, saves game. Then Allied player zips the save-game file ("sav???.dat") and sends the zip file to the Japanese player.
Subsequent Japanese turn: Japanese player enters password, gives orders, ends turn, saves game. Then Japanese player zips both the save-game file and the Combat Replay ("sav001.dat") file and sends the zip file (containing 2 files) to the Allied player.
Subsequent Allied turn: Allied player unzips file received from the Japanese player and loads the "Combat Replay" file, watches the replay, then loads the save-game file. Allied player enters password, gives orders, ends turn, saves game. Then Allied player zips the save-game file and sends the zip file to the Japanese player.
If you are doing all this, and are still having problems, then I can't help you. :D
