Hey Marshall,

I encountered this bug in our PBEM game quite recently. I figured out a way around it, but thought I'd point it out to you to investigate.

We have the 3rd party combat option enabled in our game. I'm GB and its Jan 1805. I have just landed in Copenhagen and have besieged the city in my land phase. When the game proceeds to the land combat phase, the only combat I have is the siege at Copenhagen. The area is highlighted yellow, but when I click the area on the map I get a new pop-up window with 3 options: Cancel, Use EiA PC Combat or Create a Battle File. As an aside, these aren't the best worded options - given that the normal combat files exchanged between players are the .battle files, it creates quite a bit of confusion to say Create a Battle File when you are refering to using a 3rd party combat system.

Anyway, the problem at hand is that clicking the area on the map does NOT produce a .battle file as expected. The workaround is to use the "Next Battle" button, which forces the UI to initiate combat in the area. I've attached my land phase for you to look at. If there's anything else, let me know.

Cheers,

Ted
