Matrix Games Forums

hallo gentlemen,

joe and me decided to play scenario 2 again with me as the IJN-player. its my first time as the japs player in a PBEM-game.

so i started the game, selected the game-type (PBEM game), selected the scenario and strated the game as japanese player.

after ending my turn, i went into the save game screen...so far so good.

but as a tried to save the game, i got an error mesage (error. can not save the game...), my prepreations were lost and i had no savegame to send it to joe.

now all i need is a guide, how to make a turn and send it to the opponent as the japs-player.

thank you for your time.

You save the game the same way for the Japanese as you do for the Allied side.  The difference is as the Japanese after the 1st turn you will send 3 files

Combat report (some opponents tell you not to bother with this)

Combat save

Turn save

I've never seen an error message when trying to save a turn.  Did you click on the arrow to end your orders phase?  Were you set to PBEM before you started with all agreed to settings?

I guess just this could be the mess. May be you did not initiate the game as "PBEM"? BTW - take a look into your PMs...

someone please pound me.=)

my mistake was to name the savegame "bb/joe" without knowing, that / isnt allowed when you save a game.

thank you anyway.
