The upgrade did not fix the problem where you can't select side B in a scenario.

[Jason Petho]

If the scenario is a SIDE A start, then the SIDE A player must start the PBEM. 

If the scenario is a SIDE B start, then the SIDE B player must start the PBEM. 

This is by design and necessary due to Lua.

[berto]

Scenarios are hard-coded to begin either Side A or Side B, whether PBEM or any other form of game play. There is no skipping the hard-coded designated First Side and immediately being playing the Second Side. It is that way by design.

If you want to play the Second Side in a PBEM (where the Second Side might be either Side A or Side B, it depends), you must get your PBEM partner to launch the PBEM (where your partner would begin playing as the First Side).

[Bioman]

If the scenario is a SIDE A start, then the SIDE A player must start the PBEM. 

If the scenario is a SIDE B start, then the SIDE B player must start the PBEM. 

This is by design and necessary due to Lua.

What is Lua?

[Jason Petho]

Lua is the scripting language we are using to give new depth to the AI and to the scenario enhancements.

Every scenario now has a .lua file associated to it.
