CMRT Deployment issue..

I'm trying to play a German assault e-mail game in CMRT and as the Soviets I'm not getting a defensive deployment zone. The objective is a village in the middle of the table, but I get an edge deployment even though I'm the defender. Any help would be appreciated.
Just to be clear, I'm only getting 1800pts in a medium game and on the force selection table it says defender.
Cheers.
 
The map is Village Assault 059 and yes, it says, Allied assault.
 
I am. Btw, why are most maps Allied attack/assault? Is it just because of the time period or does it have something to do with actual game balancing related to how each side can attack?
 
Defiantly a bug - and one that has been fixed at some point. I'll have to dig around to figure out where it got fixed but if you are not already running version 1.03 definitely get both players to patch it and try again. You have to start the game over since the bug fix did not fix existing files just new ones.

The work around that some of us used before the bug got fixed was to have both players setup the QB parameters (the attacking and defending sides is the part that matters) and start a game. One player just deleted the .ema file and the other used it to start the game. What that does is setup the default / last used parameters correctly for the game and then when the second player opened the file it worked because it seemed that some setting was either not saved or not read but instead was being picked up from the last used game setting. So the trick of getting both people to start the game in the same way seemed sort out the sides. Now, I only ever tried that work around in CMBN so I am un sure if that will also work in CMRT.

But again first look at what version you both are running and make sure you are patched because this bug has definitely been fixed.

Are you talking about QB maps here? That is just a coincidence. The QB system lets you attack on any map as any side. What you ran into is a bug and not they way it supposed to be.
