I dont think its the wrong thread it was started to answer a question by Tuna and myself on PBEM for CMBN.  Now I am working on trying to get a PBEM QB with Tuna and I want to know if we can use MG QB maps or not?

Seems to fit pretty well but I would prefer to have an answer instead of debate worthiness of thread topics

Thanks

I was of the understanding that every player needed the same CMx2 version for a multi-player matchup.  I would think that it would be the same for content if it is so for the base packages. 

However, I've not really played CMBN much and definitely not in multi-player so don't take this speculation as truth.  Perhaps you could make a copy of the scenario/map, send it to him, and load it up in custom battle mode but that would likely draw accusations.

They should really switch to a more modular update & DLC system so at least people with different combinations of expansions can play together, if not use the same maps.  I think that was how it was how CMx2-WW2 was originally supposed to be.  ???

Sorry, I mean to write that I posted in the wrong thread. My fault and not yours.

LOL.. spent too much on FSX add ons.. not Xmas games!!! Which I am still addicted too.. could pass someday... I've been doing some Rome II here and there.. and Sid Mieirs Ace Patrol  on my laptop..

Send me a MG battle doesn't hurt to try, but I assume it won't work.. it is at least good that Battlefront turned around and patched it so Non MG owners could play MG owners!

This is true. You can only play against an opponent if you have the same version.
If you started you game on the vanilla game, but one of the players updated to a module or newer patch, you will not be able to continue unless the other updates too.
Even then, there have been reports of corrupted saves while trying to load the old game into the patched up version.
