Hi,

I am T32 of a server game (between Don77 and Enocm). On loading the game file today (about 0000 Zulu/GMT on Sat 21 Jan) - the dispositions of both Ge and Sov forces are as per T1 ie units etc are all at start positions. Has it loaded the wrong file, can I get Eno's uncorrupted trun, or can we get it to a previous version please.

Prompt help is appreciated - I have mowed the lawns, had coffe and the weekends are for WiTE afterall...

Don

Wow, I have no idea how this could happen. I've downloaded the latest turn and the backup one turn back, and I see what you see. I will email Pip to see if they've changed anything with the server that might cause this. I can roll you back to the previous German turn if you want, but the German player will have to remake their move. It may be best to see if Pip has any ideas, although odds are you'll have to go back one turn in any case.

Hey Joel,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am just talking w my oppenent/mate (as I type), and I'll let you know what we found.
- Enocm says he didn't actually finish his turn, he only used the 'save' function. So I shouldn't have been able to access the turn at all. Hmm, could if let us know if we hit the wrong save/end turn button, or if its a glitch?

Regardless, please reset our game to the start of the (previous) Ge turn T32 (ie end of the Soviet turn in T31)

Don

Did Enocm start another game at some point around the time he saved the game? I've backed the game up one turn so hopefully Enocm can redo his turn and you can continue.

Thanks Joel,

Really appreciate your support at the end of a week. I see he has the turn, and I texted him the same. I'll ask him tmrw am, after he's had a look at the turn and had a glass of red (cordial, ofc),

Thanks Joel,

The game is up and running again, although you could have given me some assistance and returned all the russina units to Moscow (I need the help).

I did start another game Hotseated to check out the effect of turning the Support Level to o for all my HQs so I can centralise the SUs before reallocating them for the start of my spring offensive, which I will hopefully have enough force left to commence.

Many thanks
Eno
