Status: offline 		So I started up a PBEM as player2 on the slitherine server, someone accepted and I got the turn back. However, unlike when I tested the scenario against the AI now I have no option to deploy my forces in red blocks. Was this meant to be?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		You have to play one of the scenarios that start with the prefix H. Those are the Head to Head scenarios. If you don't have one of the those the setup zones are not set up correctly for H2H play.

Which scenario are you trying to play?

The scenarios marked in Gray have Head to Head setups available. The others do not.

Good Hunting.

On the Scenario selection chart they all start with the letter H.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		I've excepted a Witch Cauldron as a NATO player. I'm hoping the Soviet player will post the setup zone results. schmolywar, did you set your game up with you as NATO? I did not see one on the PBEM++ server?

My OS is English.

Apparently I can still issue orders, so I may just start the war from here!

Or maybe not since I'm only getting 7 orders (limited orders) instead of unlimited orders for the initial turn. No way to move an entire Guards Tank Regiment on only 7 orders per turn!

Status: offline 		After having tried lots of scenarios, I strongly acquaint anyone with a localized version of the Operating System that PBEM is not yet an option. Most of the scenarios are bugged.
I really hope this will be fixed in 2.02 and not 2.03 just because most of the fun is playing with a human opponent and fixing this should have high priority.

Status: offline 		That's my opinion too, fixing of PBEM issues should have high priority. It's really annoying to play a couple of turns (if at all) just to find out the game cannot be continued.

Status: offline 		There is a fix for the setup zones in the 2.02 update. The remaining PBEM bugs will be the focus of 2.03 work that we will be starting in a couple days after getting 2.02 out of the house. 2.01 and 2.02 were focused on fixing general game play bugs hitting everyone. We will be looking to chat with a few of you having problems and probably making hotfix type exes to test with you and the team to see if we can track the reaming issues and stomp them out.

USA. It doesn't get much more "America" than Kansas.
