1.5.8 unplayable game

DKM2 just accepted a game that I am unable to play. It is Later Ottoman Turks vs. Later Polish(late). When I open the game, I have won the intiative and get to choose a map. Each time I do this, it either goes back to the table listing my games or else shows the main screen background with a pop up saying something like side 2 must have a general and the fog.sg is invalid. I can't get the exact wording or a screenshot because it tends to stay up only momentarily before going back to the game list. Date/time on the game is Wed, July 27th, 9:51 AM (I think that is my time zone, so EDT, GMT -0:400).

Can you confirm is either side used an army saved in beta 1.5.7. I think if you both use armies only created in 1.5.8 the challenge should work. Thanks Keith

The Late Polish(Later) army is from 1.5.8 since it was so broken in 1.5.7. I don't know about my opponent's but he was responding to my challenge which was posted after 1.5.8 was released.

If there's no way to fix the issue you might as well kill the game from the server once you have any information you can get from it.

Do you have ONE CinC and sub commanders? Sounds like you may not have a CinC. That happened to me too. Could not start a game in the release of FoG and had to go back in and check my unit that was the leader to be sure it was named a CinC.

Just tested this issue with our latest build 1.5.9 (not released to Beta yet), building these two armies from scratch and it seems to work with no issues.
Thanks
