Usually the problem with multiple computers used is that the people end up with .2h files of diferent dates on each machine. Then it depends on how you quit. I havent tested it but if you go to Options and "quit without save" then Im hoping that no .2h gets sent which should save you from having an old .2h sent from a laptop

Yes very helpful thank you. I think I might understand now how it works. So my problem is solved by simply deleting .2h file or whole game from my laptop so it doesn't mess my turn when I connect.
And Gandalf doesn't old file update your turn when you start it? So it doesn't really matter how I quit if I have one.

And I understand that this way I can make my turn offline and have to have connection just to upload it to server so it really makes sense. Only minor improvement could be that server sends you your .2h file if it has one and your computer doesn't have any. So I wouldn't have to redo my turn or copy my turn file if I would like to make some changes to it with a different computer.
Well this is such a minor issue anyway that I'm almost ashamed to have bothered you with it.
