PBEM Issues

Don:

It was turn 14th.

I agree, something is wrong, though we played the entire game withouth any other problem. Keep in mind that�s a file recieved from my opponent, I can�t tell if it�s my system or his. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Regards
Robert

No. None. Other than you've had a corrupted .Dat file somehow.

However, we have run some tests that duplicate in many ways what has happened and although I think we have a good idea what's gone on we are still investigating.

Don: attached is a zip with two files (turns 6 and 10) from the same PBEM, in turn 6 you can see my akatsya�s cluster munitions firing but you don�t see shells landing, it happens with CM only. You can observe the same issues reported in the first post being a different game.

At the end of turn 10 there�s an air attack from my oponent, note that during the attack (particulary with the AC130 I believe) the FOW flips so you can see the position of enemy forces and you see yours through enemy sight. I have the complete set of files in case you require more

1] Somebody had "fast arty" ON

2] It happens sometimes but it's rare.

Thanks for the fast reply Don! 1)I�m sure it wasn�t me with the fast arty on, I was able to see all the replays but the cm landing. 2) Never happened before.

PBEM question: Even though I've played several PBEM games by now and also done the setup a couple of times without trouble, I am now having some problems: I'm trying to set up a new game - Russia vs Chechen Rebels, 12/1994, for which I created a Grozny-like map - is there any way to influence from which side of the map Player 1 and 2 will start? Previously this was not so important to me and I found that sometimes Player 1 starts left, sometimes right, but in this case I've done the setup several times and whe I checked (and re-placed the V-hexes), I always end up starting from right, which is the wrong side for me...

The short answer is no. You cannot swap sides unless it's a sceanrio. The sides each nation starts from is, for most of the nation pairings, pre set in the code but with all the possible pairings there will alway be some that someone might consider to be the "wrong" side. In this case, the Russians get the right side of the map
