Pbem set up bug?

[weapon2010]

Has anyone seen this lately?I set up a nice attk/def , so I go to set up my def , and my deployment zone is  now my attacking opponents deployment zone, so frustrating

Which map were you using?  Do you also know the battle criteria? Date/ Region/ Forces/ Battle Size?

cut down the elst master map, the weird part is I messed around with some defense options last night and tonight, and the setup zones were working perfectly fine, everything where it should be, I go on later tonight and wammo . I tried like 6 times reloading , and cant get it back

weapon, every map has a specific allied deployment and axis deployment, blue and red. If you want the axis to attack their deploy zone has to be red and vice versa.

Known bug. It will be fixed but in the meantime here is a workaround:

When player 1 gets file 002 back from player 2 and loads the PBEM save file, whatever setup zone he is in will be the one he is in every time he loads that save so long as he does not exit the program (exiting and restarting the program will occasionally result in a different zone). However, after loading then Quiting the 002 PBEM file player 1 can switch the setup zone he will be assigned next time he loads file 002 as follows:

1) Click on Quick Battle at the main menu
2) Switch the attacker and defender services, e.g. if it is set to Waffen SS attacking and US Army defending switch it to the other way around. It doesn't seem to matter what the specific services are or if they match the ones in the PBEM, only that they are reversed from the present default. Other settings in the QB setup screen seem to be irrelevant.
3) Hit OK --> select map (any map will do) --> select attacker or defender (doesn't matter which) --> select one player turn based --> advance to unit purchase screen
4) Once you see the unit purchase screen you don't need to go any further. Hit cancel to return to the QB setup menu.
5) Go to main menu --> saved games --> load PBEM file 002
6) purchase your units and proceed to setup. When the game starts you will be in the opposite setup zone as the last time.

This bug has been around since the release of CMBN, and yet this is the first time I see it recognised as such, including a workaround.

Well done, Vanir Ausf B.
