How do you record state of play so to pick up game at later date?

[Taffy3]

My group is unable to complete a game in one sitting and have to pack everything away after stopping. I’m sure this isn’t a unique problem. Wondering how others keep track of unit placements so to recreate current game at a later date.

@Taffy3 originally we just wrote everything down per territory or sea zone. Then we switched to cell phone shots.

Same here.

AndrewAAGamer already gave the best solutions.

Otherwise use TripleA (if you haven’t heard of it, let me know and I will explain it). It’s extremely useful in preserving games.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Thanks all.

@Taffy3
If you know this will be the case just have a laptop with triple A present and update countries at the end of their turn.
If you play with a group some people will be Idle most of the time anyway and it saves doing things later.

With stacks of 20+ units cellphone shots can be tricky to recreate from.

TripleA also has the advantage of being able to continue the round from remote locations in case your next sitting is prevented by other IRL things.

As an added bonus it adds disaster recovery in case accidents happen. Dice bounce out on table, cat/kid sneaks in.

Actually quite smart.
