When to upgrade during a play by email

[SamuraiProgrammer]

Hi,

I am running a PBEM game and here is what worked for us.

I told everyone that we would upgrade *after* sending in their next turn. After I had all of the turns and before I ran them, I updated. I then sent them the files with a reminder to *update before playing*. Everything worked smoothly...

Except...

One friend had just lost a hard drive and there were some complications in getting the patch applied after restoring from the backups... but that is a different matter.

In reality, everything seems to have gone smoothly.
