I would always save the old turns - each in separate folders.

But I did feel the thrill of opening a new turn to look at the map and developments in key areas.



I'm talking about the thrill of hearing the Windows chime and seeing the taskbar flash. It reminds of the old days, playing blitz games via IRC or LAN. You would finish your turn, hit F9, and twiddle your thumbs waiting for the other players to finish. Eventually the chime sounds, eliciting a Pavlovian response.

I like that chime so much that I force it to happy in my PBEMs.



What we need's a few good taters.
