As a frequent player of 6 player Here I Stand games, I heartily
endorse this style.  I'm alarmed by the suggestion that accepting the
game state warnings is okay.

I've found that GameName-Turn-Sequencer-Description.gmv is best.  For example:

HIS-Ourgame2-01-007-Hapsburgs2.gmv

really tells me where this gmv goes in the sequence, so when I have to
play catch-up everything sorts properly in my directory.
