I'm looking at this now and if I can find a plausible rationale I'll post it here. PBEM++ tends to be very solid but just when you relax, boom, it does something interesting to get your attention.

Yes, so this is not really a PBEM++ problem per se, but rather how I maintain the info about that PBEM++ game in memory. The issue is likely because the Tutorial and the PBEM++ game were played in the same session and info bled through to the other. I can fix that. Starting a whole new session (I'm guessing) is why it then played as expected.

Although I have a pretty good idea now what is going on, this is not the type of fix I want to rush. There could be unwanted consequences of too fast a fix. If you see it again though, just restart the game and all will be well.

Thanks for posting, this really helps, Rob C

Question: when you saw the Tutorial 2 info was it just the game caption up top (your screen snippet) that was Tutorial 2, or did Tutorial 2 itself load up and display? These are very different problems and it would help to know which it is. Based on what you provided, I'm assuming it was just the title bar caption. I'll check for the other thing, but direct my attention to the title bar.

Thanks, Rob
