question about turn files

There is a utility that reads the .2h files for pretender info. And utilities that read data from the game logs. But Im not sure of any that tries to read the turn data.

Would the info I'm looking for be in the game logs? I'd assume not since I'm guessing they correspond to the "messages" the player receives at the end of every turn and don't include any state info beyond that.

If the .2h file contains the pretender info and the .trn file contains the data for the previous turn (I'm assuming) what does the ftherlnd file contain?

.trn is "turn" file (host to player)
.2h is "to host" (player to host)
ftherlnd is "fatherland" and mostly holds the game data such as the map info, ai, independents, etc

The game log is a debug log and contains much of the games thinking when it processes the turn. It does have commander info and might have magic paths.
