Default Loading "USED" PBeM turns

A few questions about loading a "used" PBeM turn for writing AAR (in FULL security PBeM session):

1. Is it possible to load a "used" PBeM turn (the one I have finished and backed-up) MID-GAME without raising the FAIL counter? That is, I load it when it is my opponent's turn and NOT mine.

2. What about loading those used turns AFTER the PBeM game in that slot has been finished completely? Will it nuke the PBeM slot registry (the game's finished, then I load the first turn, write the AAR, then replace with second turn, so on)?

I'm asking it just in case someday I would write my previous battle's AARs. (Or if I need to make a review-in-depth about a particular turn).

Why don't you just take notes while you play your turn normally and post them when you feel it is safe? For example after the battle is over.

Well what I'm asking is what IT IS. Regarding your question; what if i want to make a review in depth someday, while this day i'm playing the PbeM i don't have that in mind? Also, I really don't think someone (including me) would post their turns here, mid-game, only to be viewed by his opponent... that'll be lots of "wikileaks" intel for him.

Well I seriously doubt, even if there is a way, the developers will tell you of a way of circumventing the security feature so that you can write your AAR/"review" in the very weird way you want. But, that's just me because I just don't buy what you say.

NO, you cannot load a "Used" turn in a secure PBEM without tripping security. That's the whole point of a secure PBEM

Yes, THAT is the clear answer I want, thanks Don.

Not some sort of smart guy yelling at people about the question which they didn't even bother to read carefully.

So, what if the PBeM game in that particular slot has been COMPLETED. Can I still "review" my used turn by loading it in that particular slot? Or maybe the whole point to both questions is NOT, since it is full security that it won't and WON'T load any used PBeM turn? If it is, ah I guess I'll have to rely on my memory to write down the AAR. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You should be able to reload it, to see the end of game map etc.

As to AARs on an ongoing PBEM - you should do that as you play (e.g grabbing of screen shots, etc). Put them in a folder or whatever, and publish after game completion.

I read very well what you said and I know very well what I said and I stand by it.
Yes I am smart, thank you.

Default Re: Loading "USED" PBeM turns

Very well done Don and Andy, that's pretty much want I want, clear and concise. Although the best way is to test it myself (between left & right hand). The whole point of my question is because I DON'T want to trip security measures in FULL security, just want to avoid my PBeM game I'm playing gets nuked.
