How do you run more than one game if you have to use slot 001 for the replays? Assuming one would have time to run more than one game at a time.

I have 3 on the go atm....all i do is work the turn of the current PBEM,send it away and then install the next turn in the directory.Of course it will overwrite the last combat save but as ive already watched it i can ignore this.[:D]

You can also copy the 01 save somewhere else. I made a directory in MY Documents and named each with my opponents name, so that I can run all 3 PBEM games and do the turns, then go online 1 time and send them all out.

Of course I did this after an oops and copied over the 01 save file.

Yep i always have the original savegame files still in Outlook if i need to go back and copy the file over in case of an error.

Thanks Guys. Thats what I thought but just wanted to make sure.

I have 4 going

What I did was make a new folder in the WiTP directory, named it PBEM. Then in that folder I made 4 more, each named for my opponent. On days when I have multipul turns in the inbox it helps me keep track of which players need turns back from me.

Also I would suggest not watching the combat reply until your opponent gives you the orders file.

Presumably, you are e-mailing your turns back and forth. If you've kept the e-mail, you can simply reload teh turn sent and re-run it. The results will be exactly the same.
