Paused for team reddit with 3 minutes left on the timer. Sorry I didn't check it sooner.
You should still be able to manage it if you're willing pause/unpause a lot. You can issue orders to multiple units, and then unpause the game for a second or two and they'll all move together. If you pause after every decision, you should be able to complete all three turns without trouble. Are your schedules almost back to normal?

Sorry I didn't check it sooner. Another tip I picked up playing a couple of 5 min turns in PB6: You can pause/unpause in the city view screen so you can think about your city micro, then unpause, adjust tiles/production, pause again and only use a second or two of gameclock. (This might be obvious to most people....but I didn't figure it out until the second time I did a 5 min turn.  )

I'll play it right now. I've been building a model (and by that I mean functional piece of furniture) for the last few days, haven't even checked emails. Edit: to clarify, Bold is supposed to be primary turn player. But he's recently withdrawn from all our other pitboss games as well, so something may be going on...

I remember you saying earlier that fantasticsid had real-life issues. Can you recruit a new teammate at Reddit, or here? It's a lot of work to run three civs by yourself every turn, and it can be helpful to have a teammate to discuss ideas.

But he's recently withdrawn from all our other pitboss games as well, so something may be going on... Yes, I am currently playing alone, and it is doing my head in. I doubt we have anyone who is experienced enough in EitB/FFH to replace sid or bold, so I'm happy to find subs from here. The tiny community of ptiboss players on reddit seems to be slowly vanishing anyway. I doubt I'll play more games with that group once the current game I'm playing with them finishes. I think this is part of why we have been lagging behind so much - Sid hadn't really contributed too much to the campaign beyond pitching advice in the early stages, and stopped really altogether around the end of August. Bold is a good player but tends to play it by feel most of the time. I'm the opposite, being not that amazing and over analysing long games, so with my workload and stress levels increasing the level of dialogue between us slowly dropped. He himself only has a small window to play turns in, as he works two jobs with long days (or something like that). 
I've an odd problem. Just started yesterday, when I try to connect it looks like it's working, but right at the end I crash to desktop, civ itself stops working. I'm still able to play my other games, and I could log in for our last turn on Thursday just fine.
Any thoughts on what might be causing it? Already checked, I'm definitely using EitB v8. Edit: Huh, just trying a bunch of times made it work. At least for now.
