PBEM, no active setup zones?

Post by schmolywar »

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?

Can you tell me the full name of the scenario you were playing? Also a screen shot of the lack of setup zone this time if you can.

Thanks.

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.

Here is the list of H2H scenarios in the game.

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

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?

Try PBEM++ HL_WGS Witch's Cauldron scenario. When I started the first soviet turn it's load without setup zone for soviet force.

Thank you Alexander. I will pass this information on and see if we can get this fixed. Have you seen this happen in other scenarios doing PBEM++?

Let me just say that the Rhino scenario is likewise for the red player. Just started it in PBEM. No setup zones.

I just had the same problem with the Rhino scenario -- playing as player 2, no setup zones.

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!

We are aware of the no setup zones in few of the scenarios. That along with several other issues are being worked on.
