Hello, we are playing the last "gold" version, v03.00.02.00 .

We have selected the ART optional.

We have just ended deployment and, while the allies get their ARTS, the Axis get none, which is VERY surprising, and I would say most probably a bug, but I cannot tell since I don't know where to read the scenario OoB.

Is it a known bug? Can we check the Order of Battle somewhere inside the game or the books? I have tried in the books and didn't find it...

The scenario booklet can be found under the help menu.

I believe it is possible but unlikely. For setup you choose randomly from all the guns and IIRC Germany has 2 AT, 2 AA and 2 Arty. They set up 4 but one more is on the spiral. So it could be that you have one in your force pool and one on the spiral.

Blame Speer's predecessor.

Nope, my opponent told me he scrapped none and he didn't get any art of any kind. NO AA, no AT, no others. And I had them all as Allied Power. Maybe he ws doing something wrong? But I cannot guess what, all units are offered for deploy in the deployment phase.

For what it may be worth, I just did a deploy for Global War and when I reached JA, I had artillery. Don't know whether my mate did something wrong (I can't imagine how) or whether it's the netplay version that has a bug).

Edit: We had to start a new one (it's like the 4th trial) and this time they appeared (at least the Italian, we hope all of the Axis will when we do the deploy).

I would say it has something to do with the optionals' personal settings, because we went through them and, although we have agreed the optionals, when he pressed ctrl+O I had the ART and DIV optionals ON and he didn't.

I believe this shouldn't have affected the game because it was me who selected the optionals for both when creating the game but he had different optionals in the same netgame.

I have my savegame and my opponent has his I guess, tomorrow we'll play more and overwrite. If somebody wants them, just ask.

I do not know how you got this to occur.[&:]

One player makes all the decisions for starting the game and the other player simply logs into the NetPlay forum - he does not Start a New Game.

It is possible to change some of the optional rules during play but you shouldn't be able to change those two optional rules.

And I guess it's even more improbable to be able to change only one player's optionals...and shouldnt happen either. I was having ART and DIVs and my opponent no, in the scrap+deploy phase, they had not been scrapped by mistake, it simply happened that in my optionals I had those ON and he didnt have them ON.


Well,anyway we made another game and everything went well, so it has no importance, but it's good, I believe, that you know, incase it happens to someone else in the future.
