Thanks, IanL, that did the trick. I had been leaving the email field blank on login because i couldn't type into the field. But, it turns out there are blank or invisible letters in the field that prevent typing and need to be deleted which then allows you to type into the field. Once I put in my email, the PBEM moves could be completed and sent. Thanks again!

I received the first turn in the Grand Tournament where I was to just progress through the password screen for the Americans. Did that and it was sent off to my opponent fine. I got the 2 turns back from him, one to setup password for Germans and one to do my map setup for the Americans. When I do either of those, the turn does not get sent to my opponent, they remain in my list on the 'Automated PBEM+++ In Progress' tab. I've done the password screen and force setup multiple times and still they remain, unsent to my opponent (Continue button remains clickable for both). My Slitherine name is Scotbot

I've attached the file I received from my friend that said I needed the vehicle pack to load. The password is 'dogsofwar' My friend and I started a new game. Now I have the vehicle pack, he still does not. I started the game and used all the same settings except I reduced the game size to tiny and pushed the month back from June to July. This time the game worked fine and we are now 5 or so minutes into the battle. Was our prior issue perhaps due to starting the game in June? I forget if vanilla CMBN starts in June or not...maybe the 'funnies' and other beach landing vehicles in the vehicle pack are required to play scenarios before July? Would be easy enough to test, I suppose. Dogs of War 002.ema

Map selection was set to Automatic (the game picked). But, when the game was setup and the map was selected by the game, neither of us had the vehicle pack installed.

I started an email game of CMBN v4.0 with a buddy. I started the game and sent the file to him and he accepted. The file got returned to me to do my troop purchases, but the file was grayed out in the list. When I clicked the file it said I needed the vehicle pack in order to load the game. I thought this was weird, since we were doing an all infantry fight, and I didn't think my friend even owned the vehicle pack, but I figured "what the hey" and went ahead and bought the vehicle pack. I made my troop purchases (no vehicles) and sent the file off to him. Now he's getting the same message. Has anyone seen this before? How do we start a game without him needing to buy the vehicle pack? (I don't want to force him to buy it in order to play). The game I started was June 1944, small battle, American Paratroops vs. German Army, Infantry only for both sides. Thanks for the help.
