You have the "Allow PBEM host GA Functions" option disabled.

Why on earth this option is even available in the game I don't know !

Marshall isn't about until the 4th. You may be able to fix it yourself, although the issue is you can only change this during your own turn.

To be honest you are such a short distance into the game that you could just restart. Alternatively you can load from a backup, advance to your reinforcement phase and produce a backup from there. Not that many phases to replay, in fact you can probably skip pretty much all the reinforcement and naval phases between there and where you are now since hardly anyone will have anything to do.

the problem is that when I try to do it, it says only the host (I am!) can change options during his turn... maybe not in naval phase ??

Oh dear. Another possibility is that when you started your game you loaded from the pbmstart file. The host should *not* do this as if he does he'll no longer be the host.

Unfortunately if you have done this you will have no option but to restart the game. If you recreate the game from scratch you *might* be lucky and find the previously created pbm files will reload.

Are you OK now?
BTW: You will probably never be able to load your own game since this exposes a lot of security issues!

The host can load their own turn files using a workaround I stumbled upon a while back.

We are not entirely sure either, only that our host (soapy frog) can not access his admin functions. He has forwarded his save file to you last Monday (the 4th) in the morning (at about 8:25).

Likely you've had the same issue as Borium - host started their game from the gamestart.pbm file. I don't think there is a way to fix this directly, probably you'll have to restart and reload files.
