Bah! Turns uploaded on Connect

Yeah, if you want to do your orders offline, you should just connect to get the turn file, not play the turn, then only play the game as you would a local game; and only reconnect when you have valid orders.

I've never been burned by this, but games on QuickHost can do that to you. Hey, I'm thinking right now - this may be how thinktank missed so many turns on our 2-player games...

In theory that's what people should do. But sometimes, when you get a new turn, you can't help but view what's happened, check things out and give a few obvious orders, and then you realize, oops, I don't have the time to issue orders for everything right now, but you don't want to start from scratch again either later.
