how do i get a saved game to attach for pbem?

@plasmaboy OK, so you decided for Play by Forum. What I see now is that you have correctly set up the game to post in your old thread
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/33146/plasmaboy-vs-aldoraine-bm3/45
It posted completely as you can see when scrolling the turn post window down.

So you did the entire turn and posted it completely to that old game thread.

Now again - where is the thread of your current game? Whom are you addressing? Who is going to download your savegame that you have posted? Whose turn is it next - who continues the game?

Or, as you now said …

I got the game from my saved game file on/in triple a. open it picked play email/forum game

… don’t you actually have a thread for your new game? In that case go to the Play Boardgames category and create a new topic. You will get your new topic ID then. Add that new ID to the PBF-settings. Do your turn and post to that new topic. You just need to point your co-players to that new topic, then.

@plasmaboy Sounds good. Usually, when playing against different opponents, you would definitely create a new game thread for every game. When playing consecutive games against the same opponent, sometimes players agree to use the same game thread.
Creating a new thread for every game is surely the “cleanest” solution.

Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:
