Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM

[solo]

Once a turn gets hosted, the master file, ftherInd is updated, the latest version overwriting the previous one. A game will not run without this file.

Unless a backup copy of ftherInd is saved in another folder before hosting, I don't think a turn can be rehosted, even if all the other previous .trn files are available.

Some likely causes of a "stale" move even when a player sends a .2h file in time can be:

1) That player forgot to exit the game before attaching the .2h and sending it.

2) That player inadvertantly attached a .2h for that nation from a different game's folder in which that nation is also being played.

3) The host received a valid .2h file, but copied it into the wrong folder.

4) The host received a valid .2h file, but during the file transfer, the existing .2h was not replaced by the new one.
