Seriously guys - if you are doing many games at once, I would strongly recommend you get in a habit of regularly rebooting.

DO NOT open and Minimize more than ONE John Tiller Title at a time.
If you have say Two games of Tunisia on the go, and you play one battle with opponent A, then CLOSE the Game, Open it again before you Start you next turn with Opponent B.

Under the hood, Windows writes everything to memory.
When Memory gets full, it writes the info to a SWAP file on the HD.
When you finish a turn or a game, this info is transferred to a holding file and then to your game PBEM file.

Now has anyone every had their PC do something funny? Fact is sometimes windows gets confused and if you do things in different games which are save to same file names from one title to another or one battle to another, then sh!t happens in replay files ect.

Best way to avoid these things is to reboot occasional, only one one game at a time, close a game and reopen it between battle files and minimize the number os times you save and reopen a file.
