Some might say that's somewhat cheesy but I hesitate to criticise as, some day, I'll have an absolute disaster on the field and go reaching for that gamesave myself. <shrug>

I just wanted to make it clear that this wasn't what I was suggesting the save facility is for. My game is a lot more stable these days (I got the video drivers sorted out) but I used to suffer the frustration of crash to desktop (CTD) or the whole PC rebooting, sometimes in mid-battle - very frustrating on occasions where I'd won and was just issuing mopping-up orders. If this (or a power failure, say) happened in the midst of a series of battles, all on the same turn, with the original version of the game you'd have to fight ALL of them a second time, possibly with different results. With the new version, you have the luxury of at least being able to resume from whichever one you were in the middle of.
