Germany, Japan, then Germany again

. But I think that my first start might just be for testing/fun as I'll be moving to a different city soon and leaving my old computer behind.
So I have a silly question. Did this work in HoI 2: copying the save files from one install of the game and pasting them in the save folder for a fresh install on a different computer?
I'm somewhat of a computer noob so some help in "saving" the old saves would be much appreciated (and hopefully it would still work in AoD). Otherwise I would have to wait until June to start a "real" campaign

. From previous experience, three months just isn't enough for me to complete one epic 1936 start campaign.
