I may be stupid but what do you mean by "same machine"[8|]

PS: Balder, my AAR is ready for turn 5.

I've given and received the same message a few times. I think any half respectable anti-spyware software wipes log files.

You usually get this warning in one of two ways:
1. Your opponent is playing the game one two or more machines, that is say a home PC and a work PC.
2. You and your opponent are not at teh same version level. check that you are both at version 1.20.

Oh there's a third way.... your opponent is cheatin b@stard![:D]

Maybe a sticky where someone that understands this message explain it a little more in detail. I have had it on several occasions in PBEM's but never suspected my opponent(s) of actually cheating.
