Hi,

In a PBEM, I have run into a problem where TOAW thinks I'm the other player in a PBEM. Has anyone else had this happen ? Are there known solutions ? (short of dropping machine off 3rd story). Thanks for any help.

Details:
I'm playing as Germans vs Soviets. My opponent sent off his turn 19 pbl and I played thru my turn 19 and sent mine off to him. Everything working smoothly. He sends back a pbl, but it has the file_name identical to my outgoing turn 19. I decided to try anyway, and the password prompt is "Enter the Soviet password". I tried using the German password, and failed; tried reloading and no password, failed. Emailled my opponent, explained, and asked for a new copy.

He went all the back to my outgoing turn 19 and re-did his turn. (That is dedication !) The new pbl has a clean file name matching his earlier names, except ending in ..T20.

I load, and get hit with "Enter the Soviet password". I shut TOAW down. Restarted, and reloaded his old turn 19 pbl. "Enter the German password" OK. I sit thru the movie, shift a couple of hexes, and save that to trash. Now I try to reload the new turn 20 pbl.

You guessed it. "Enter the Soviet password"

Has this happened to anyone else ? If so, can this be solved so the game can continue, and if yes, how to resolve it ?

Thanks.

EDIT -
The problem has gone away. My opponent, Fulcrum, tried a few things, include several re-loadings, and somehow, got the engine to get the sides re-sorted correctly. We've played a couple new turns, and TOAW operates as normal. FWIW, he also started getting the wrong password prompt on my pbl's to him right after I encountered the original problem.

I'm glad it's gone, but I wish I knew what happened and what could be done to recover such in the future.
