I don't seem to be able to figure it out ... when I save the game, it creates a .SAL (rather than the usual .PBL) file, which isn't offered to me when I try to resume a PBEM game? :rolleyes:
Reason I ask is that I impatiently started playing my turn before I had posted my opponent's file here for your gentlemen's enlightened comments, and now it seems I have to complete it without your advice because I can't save it ... :surprise:

When you save your game it creates an 'in-between' save, which you resume when you want to resume the game. Instead of hitting the resume PBEM button, you hit the resume saved game button and then fid the .sal it saved.
If you upload the .sal we can all open it and take a look. just like when you upload the PBEM we can, if we have the password, watch your enemy's moves, and your situation at the beginning of the game.
If this doesn't help, feel free to try and clarify and I will feel free to try and help again. :laugh:

Thanks! Wish I would have known that during my turn, I could have shared what I did. Well, next time then.

Do you have any of the saves? You could upload them...
What am I thinking? You can upload the DO_NOT_SEND copy of the save.
When you end your turn for the last time, the game saves to files, a PBEM,which you send to your opponent, and a .sal, that you can look over after you have sent away yor PBEM. If you upload the last .sal, which will begin with DO_NOT_SEND, then you can share what you did.
