HELP with SCTJ XirtaM

[K K Rossokolski]

I have a new computer, economy priced as befitting a pensioner, but a reputable make and more than ample for my simple needs. First order of business was to install JTCS plus 1.04. Fine.
I have just started playing the new Order out of Chaos, as the Axis Sovs (first turn) with Ivan the Big. Anyway, sent off my first turn, got his back, opened it up to play, (I always watch the replay)........and lo...... I have changed sides and become the Allied side US/Poles.!!!!!!??????
After considering some fine adjustment with a 12lb sledge I have, I thought I might try it in the old clunker. Moved it over with the free little memory thingy the vendor kindly gave* me, played it..fine. I got a replay of John's move which I moved back and sent off to him.
I thent ried a selection of PBEM game setups in WF, RS, EF, pulled the file out, put it back...same thing, so it ain't scenario specific. In all cases all rules except VV were on And yes, I passworded, and advanced the turn.

Any thoughts please, gents. BTW, my first impressions of the scen are very favourable.

* The young fella offered me that or a screen cleaning kit. I won't easily forget the look on his face when I refused the kit, advising him my cleaning routine was to turn the keyboard upside down andshake the crumbs out, and as for the screen...well I just spit on it and give it a rub with the hanky!!!
