Is this normal? (contains warp point tactics)

When you hit end turn, the game copies the .gam file to the temp directory, renamed by adding "_lastturn" to it. When you watch the movement log, the game loads that file and then shows ship movements. This means that fleets, warp points, orders, etc. are all shown as they were at the last time you saved the game before ending your previous turn until the movement log is done and it reloads the current turn. You can even inspect last turn's log report, last turn's production in the empire status screen, etc. Ships/units lost in combat are removed (except units launched and destroyed in combat are not subtracted from the cargo displayed for the carrier), colonization actions are shown, ships/units destroyed by damaging warp points or sectors are removed, and ships/units destroyed by minefields are removed, but no other changes during turn execution are shown except ship movement. In particular, no stellar manipulation results are shown during the movement log replay, not even ships destroyed by star destruction and the like. Fleets are shown following the ships that were in them, even if those fleets were disbanded between the last save and turn execution.
