Was curious how the ageod PBEM games worked. Is it just one file that needs to be sent? Thanks.

Been awhile but I believe is just 1 file.

Host sends a turn (.trn) file to the non-host. It contains all the events of the completed turn. Based on that the non-host gives his orders and returns an orders (.ord) file. The host of course has the same two files for his own turn and orders, only he doesn't need to send them. The turn is resolved simultaneously for both sides on the host machine.

There is also an .rpl file the host can send that allows the other player to see the replay of the turn. It is rather large though.

There is also a sumary in the shared area on the CSA War College outlining the procedure for setting up PBEM for AGEOD ACW.
