No Activation Phase in PBEM game

[sol_invictus]

I am playing the CP in a pbem game. I Mobilize and send the file to my opponent. He Mobilizes and sends the file back to me. It is now the CP Strategic Phase. I notice that the Flag button that chooses which CP power is active is not on the screen. I must click on the units of either Germany or Austria to make them active. I assign the Air, Diplomatic, and so on. I click the grey arrow to proceed. The turn progresses to my Strategic Phase again, but this time, the Flag button in listed in the interface and I can choose which CP power I want active like normal. All of my previous choices are still active from the previous Strategic Phase so I press the grey arrow button again. This time it says send the turn to my opponent.

He gets my file and does his Strategic Phase and then his Orders Phase and then gets the send file to opponent message. When I get this file, I am instantly in my Orders Phase without ever getting an Activation Phase. In short, I am getting two Strategic Phases and no Activation Phase. Shouldn't I be getting an Activation Phase right after I finish my Strategic Phase, before I send the file to my opponent? I am at a complete loss.

I will send you the files Frank, of before I send my opponent and after I get it back from him.
