I'm pretty sure the Dominions server is equipped to handle this: It probably writes the turn into a temporary file before accepting it at all. If you enter an incorrect password while logging in, I still see the data transferring to suggest that it's uploading a file anyway: If the Dominions II server actually overwrote the good orders, you could thrash someone's turn by trying to be him, even if you don't have his password. This doesn't appear to happen, however, as when I tested this, the file that was originally there was unaltered.

In any case, it would be no different from if the user crashed or got disconnected in mid-upload: Dominions II is smart enough to probably write the incoming data somewhere temporary. This shouldn't pose a problem.
