PBEM teething troubles

[ajtateson]

I amtrying to set up my first PBEM game but am having some problems. My apologies to more senior players who must have heard this a hundred times before but I would really appreciate some advice.

My opponent (Herr Oberst) and I have made sure we are both using the same game patched with the same update (Sicily '43, patched to v1.06 from HPS website).

I chose the scenario and completed my first turn then pressed the 'Nest Turn' button and sent the PBEM file to my opponent with a covering email listing the optional rules which were active.

However, the file will not open on his machine.

He has tried creating the game himnself and sending it to me but this will not open correctly on my machine.
When I choose to view the 'Replay' I get the message "Error reading from replay file" and then a map completely blacked out except for one hex in the top left corner or, if I try it again the same error message but a map appears corresponding to the scenario but with no units on it and it won't scroll.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much to anyone who takes the time to help me out,

Andy
