PBEM help

[jager506]

Hi

I've been trying to get this PBEM game goin for 2 days and having problems.

I'm playing Germany, so I select campaign 1941, secure PBEM, even and make all my plots for June 22. Then I resolve combat, save the game, zip the files and send it via attached email to the other guy. But he claims he can't get in to play. Am I doing something wrong? I did not download the Matrix PBEM program but is that a prerequisite to PBEM games?

Anyway, he sent me a file of HIS first move just to check, but now as player 2, I can't get in because no matter what I type, the PC says "wrong password".

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Get him to unzip the file you sent him to somewhere other than the Wir Game folder.Then he moves the 3 save files to the WiR folder and plays the turn. Sounds stupid but this happened to me as well, for some reason the unzip process to the WiR folder did not work.
Hope this helps.
