question on saving game

[Merry Jolkar]

I have a question about how to save game when I'm half way through my turn, and get interrupted.

If you connect to the host, issue some of your orders, and then save your game without hitting "end turn" ("e"), the next time you connect to the
server, it will upload your turn the moment you connect. If you are the Last person to submit, this will trigger the host to advance the turn, right?

Thus, it seems that the safest thing to do is to fully run your turn when you first connect, then hit "e" to end turn.

But, suppose I am half way through my turn, and have to quit. Can I save my progress then later choose "play existing game" and complete my turn locally?

If I do, then upon completing orders, do "end turn" and then connect to host and it will upload the orders you saved?

Thanks!
Merry
