First PBEM, found Major Flaw!

I have just started my first PBEM, played several turns over the weekend and was loving it! Got home tonight and no email yet, with my next turn[:(] So I loaded the game and was going to go over my last move. I clicked on the file and his turn loaded[&:] I guess I clicked the last new file I created to send to him with his turn. Anyhow, to my surprise I had access to all his info[:-] Now this is his turn before he makes his moves BUT, it still shows all his forces, upgrades, whats he's building, etc[:-] Yikes this is one heck of a FLAW!

We can see each others last info? O.K. it's only one turn back but still for me this is awful[:@]

Can a password system be used? Each player sets their secreat password at the first turn and then only that player can open his turns once generated? Anyone else see this as a major problem? Can it be worked into the next patch?

See page 53 of the Appendix on playing a PBEM game. You hit 'p' on the main map screen to set a password.

O.K. ! Thanks, good to know it was just my lack of knowlage. I will inform my other player and password protect my turns from now on! Love this game! Great job.
