Problem starting a PBEM game of WinSP:MBT

[Greybeard]

Hello Chris,

Only thing that I can think of is that your opponent kept opening the game after his re-deployment to make sure he'd finished - and in the process continued to fail the password again for P1 - thus hosing the game with each attempt..

Only time I've ever seen this happen is when player 2 fails-out P1's password..

Had an opponent once where I purchased 3 times, sent files to P2, and rec'd files I couldn't deploy.. gave up as a bad go.. then with me as player 2 I did it to someone else.. the grey mess between my ears started making creaking sounds (happens with old age when little used items begin to wake up).. and I started exploring reasons.. then finally figured out what was going on..

this isn't new to WinMBT - it's been around since the last DOS version was released..

Thought it was common knowledge - apparently not..

OOPs..
