The Russian Campaign Multiplayer Questions

[canuckgamer]

We plan on starting our first multiplayer game and going to try a big one, The Russian Campaign. I noticed that in hot seat mode for multiplayer you could not save the game. I hope that is not the case in PBEM because there are so many units in this scenario that a complete move may require a number of sessions.

Another question, is there weather and weather effects in this scenario?

Thanks.
