I am having a problem moving units. During a turn I will move units and send my file. When I recieve the next file my units are back where they started. My opponent is able to move his units with no problem. Any ideas?

Is he sending back the right file ?

The question is more, are YOU sending the right file? It sounds like you are returning to your opponent the file he sent you.

Maybe you are adding your new file to the wrong zip archive and returning the old one.

If I were sending the same file back wouldnt it ask for my encryption password? If it were his file he would be asked for the Union password when he tried to open it. No?

True.

Can't really think of a good reason for what you're seeing, then. A corrupted file would be the usual theory. Try going back to the last file that worked, and delete the pbemail.xxx and .yyy files regularly (best after each turn).

Hi Tommy,

Is this a Campaign or stand alone battle? I ask because there are no
encryption passwords in the Campaign. Try a resinstall....

Captain Brewster,

This is a typical 'Yank' problem. You see, you don't actually 'move' your units, you only issue orders for them to move. The Yank infantry realizes what dufus's they have as officers and know better than to obey such hair-brained orders -- so they just remain where they are [:D] !
