You may as well use Solitaire and trust one another with whatever process you decide on for handling the US Entry and NZ-Pact chits. Essentially for those, it is some form of the "honor system". This is because it is such a simple matter to "cheat" (if you really wanted to) with either Solitaire or Hot Seat; and with Hot Seat you just end up dismissing a bunch of dialog boxes that are supposed to be telling you which player is supposed to sit down in front of the computer next (but about 20% of the time are wrong anyway). The file you send back and forth is the MWiF game file ("filename.GAM") from your Save or Auto-save directories, but since it is 8 to 10 Megs in size, you should zip it before emailing it. That reduces it to about 1.6 Megs. Some turns require a LOT of interaction so instant messaging is better than email for that. FREX: "Ground Strike on Lille with 4-factor Stuka - will you intercept with the one Orange 3-factor FTR in range?". Skype works great for this as you can have it on your PC, IPAD and/or phone. Reply and let the other player resolve, rather than emailing back and forth. The other player can always open the game at the last save point and view the tactical situation. Edit: If you like, you can use an on-line Die Roller (like ACTS) that sends the results to both players. Set MWiF so the user can put in the die rolls and then put in the ones that come back.
