This problem almost always occurs when I begin a battle against a certain PBEM opponent, but recently it happened a couple times in games versus other PBEM'ers. It also disappears after about the 2nd or 3rd turn. After unzipping my opponent's files I'll launch SPWAW (v7.1); all looks okay until I move the mouse and the screen begins to scoll, then the game crashes to the desktop. If I reboot my computer, or unzip the files again and then reboot, the game will launch and allow me to play, but *certain* vehicles in my force will not appear onscreen (I can select, move and fire them, but no icon shows). In a current battle, all my Hetzers disappeared, in another all my trucks (UK, several different types) were gone. My installation of SPWAW runs flawlessly in solo and in 90+% of my PBEMs. Since it happens most of the time with turns from one player I was thinking corrupt OOB file, but neither me nor my opponents are getting any security violations. I realize this is a tough/obscure problem, and its intermittent nature makes it even harder to nail down, but I'm out of ideas.
