Gentlemen, something's wrong with a Mexican-American War campaign I am playing but I can't guess what.

My opponent, the esteemed & legendary <font color="red">British Major General Lord Reuter of Monmouth</font id="red"> & I successfully negotiated the Strategic Interphase between battles 3 & 4 but once I received his opening move for Buena Vista trouble began.

Whether I watched the Mexican replay or not, I received a Microsoft error message & the game closed.

Repeated attempts only saw it open OK & even allow me to move units & execute formation changes but the game would eventually close with the same Microsoft error message whenever I clicked on the hex containing Maj Gen Zachary Taylor, Col Jeff Davis & the two Aides-de-camp Maj Bliss & Cpt Eaton (192, 301).
<b><i>

Even when I saved the file before this would happen </i></b>it opened back to what I had been sent with all American units in their At-Start positions. Very frustrating, particularly for my opponent who has replayed his opening move 3 times now in an effort to help me solve this.

<font color="yellow">What further engenders my mystification & chagrin has been that </font id="yellow">

1) Lord Reuter & I have successfully completed an entire identical campaign (playing the opposite sides to what we are now playing),

2) have as I said, completed the 3 opening battles of this campaign with no problems,

3) that he has repeatedly reported no problems whatsoever on his end

4) & the fact that I have 4 other campaigns in-progress with two different opponents, including the Texas War of Independence, Scott's Central Campaign & 2 other Mexican-American War campaigns in addition to the one with Lord Reuter, <b><i>none of which I am experiencing any difficulties with.</i></b>

Any suggestions or assistance that anyone might be able to bring forward will find two avid war-gamers most deeply grateful.</font id="beige"></font id="Comic Sans MS">

xx yy files? try deleting.

Any upgrades or patches applied by one or the other?

Have you tried playing that scenario vs the Ai? if not try it and see if the same thing happens if it works fine vs the Ai then it's probably what Al said delete the XX and YY files

I have a cleanup.bat that I periodically run & I'm fairly certain that I had tried that already but tried it again anyway, as well as the suggestion to run the scenario vs A/I.

Vs the A/I the scenario played fine, both as a single scenario & as a component battle of the campaign in question, while removing the yyy & xxx files had no effect on my inability to play Lord Reuter's opening Mexican turn at Buena Vista, which opened & then closed with the error message as it has been doing.

Could be a .oob issue have him Copy and send his oob file to you and check it and see if everything matches up look at the leader pics being that you said it crashed when clicked on the leader pics... Had kinda the same issue awhile back when I was using scenario I made I was using updated version and he was using an older one i had changed some leader pics and some other small oob changes.

hope this helps...
