Problem with PBEM Cheat Notification.

Hi,

I'm the Soviet player in a game of Russia 41 against freeboy, and he just sent me the file after his second Axis turn. When I opened the file, there was a notification of a possible PBEM cheat, in that I wiped my PBEM logbook. See attached.

This is a false alarm due to the fact that I played my turn one on my laptop, and am starting turn 2 on my desktop. I have two games going at this time, where I expect to have similar messages, since I play both at work, as well as at home, on two different machines. This is substantially different from the description of the PBEM security system in the manual. It should be brought to everyone's attention that playing on two different computers will end up generating a lot of false alarms over the course of a game.

Phew I was about to load one of my play by mail games on my notebook just now. Glad I stumbled on this thread. I agree with thread starter, VIC this should be mentioned clearly in the manual!
