I don't think it is network congestion, etc, cause all my other games load just fine.
I have been trying to load all day, and briefly got on, then lost it, all the other times, my whole system locks up requiring a hard reboot. something is wrong with the master game file
I think it is better for some people to have to redo their turns, then for some people to lose a turn completely, which will unbalance the game.
Which ignores the fact that restarting the game can cause people to lose their turn. If the ones who already uploaded their turns don't know the game was restarted, they're likely to get a stale turn because they don't know they need to reconnect and upload their turn again.

I'm not saying that there isn't a need to restart the games sometimes, like now. But all too often, people start asking for the game to be restarted because they have a single failure to connect and don't even try a second or third time.
