I'm trying to get started on the tourney and noticed another problem. for Red Player by Email my File\Start New Game is greyed out. That's not the case for Blue PBEM. I've run the updates (DA version 2.03 1 Jun 04). Any ideas?

Did you receive your email from your blue opponent? If so this is not a new game. You are continuing one that has already started.

If you are trying to perform the first move in a pbem as red...you can't. Apparently DA is set up so ONLY Blue can start a PBEM Game.

Hope this helps.

That's correct. The BLUE player must initiate a PBEM Decisive Action game. I'm not sure why it is set up like this, but it has no effect on gameplay. The RED player doesn't lose anything, it's just an interface issue.

that's the answer gents! I'll try this tonight & hopefully get it going. I was able to launch the scenario (Northern Watch) as red vs computer IOT get the OPORD and my order of battle.
BTW, couldn't print my OOB-think it was a memory issue. I think this scenario may be a hog!
later,
