There appears to be two bugs with v5.01. These have been reported to matrix support in detail. 1. The map generator on PBEM only allows a map 40 hexes wide...this is the likely cause of my opponents reporting disappearing victory hexes and start lines at the map edge, on games that use large maps. 2. PBEM games created by me and by an opponent have security warning messages, with a text warning on deployment that the OOB file is corrupt.

I wonder if everyone has the map bug? Would this be a possible work around till the problem is fixed? Generate a map, save it, and load it as a custom map.

Hi Pack Rat :) No, I haven't had map-problem. I've been playing generated maps and pre-designed about two months now...not a one problem with maps... What it comes to "security violence" -msg, ain't that better than having pbem-turn that don't open at all? I had same in first two or three turns, because games were started in 5.0 and then calmly dropped and opened in 5.01 (5.1now?) . OOB error means that there is some differencies, but I can't say is it only date of the OOB-files that causes this or is it something more. If you see something ODD as a flying MG34 or bunker that is shown as a gray halfie, you got error, and OOB-warning comes out when players do not have same OOB, by date or what is inside them. Pbems started in 5.1 don't have any errormessages, atleast I don't have. Clear? :D mosh

During the battle generator phase, notice the button labelled "Small Map" Select this button and it changes to "Medium Map" Selecting again, and again allows you to choose larger sized maps.
