Scenario swap mid game???

I just had something really odd happen. I was well into what I thought was a full campaign game, playing as the Russians and doing just fine. I checked the points and noticed that suddenly the game was listed as Operation Typhoon. Except that it's turn 16 and the Germans have way more than enough points to win.

I foolishly ended the turn without sending a feedback message from within the game. (I'd been trading turns last night without problems). The game immediately ended with an Axis victory. WTF? It's possible that this was a Typhoon game that just didn't stop on time. But I think it was a proper campaign that somehow switched or got reclassified. Anyone else seen this?

Cost me a loss, too. :(

The more info you can provide, the better. How did you enter the game, exactly? What was on the screen before?

This just happened to me again. I sent in a message via the in-game feedback this time. Basically I was playing a campaign game and everything was going fine. Midway through turn 7 when the turn came back from my opponent it was now an Operation Typhoon game.

I can't see any causal factor here at all. I was/am playing against a regular opponent. We tend to exchange a number of turns a day. We've finished several campaign games before, and when it happened earlier it was against a different opponent. In the earlier instance I was playing the Russians and it was late in the game. About turn 20. This time I am Axis and it's only turn 7. But it's past the time when Typhoon would end. If the game ends at the conclusion of this turn I will have more than enough points for a win, as you'd expect.

As for how I'm entering the game, I believe it was running the background on my iPad from the night before. I brought it up and cycled through several turns that were waiting for me. This was one of them.

An update: the game went to the victory screen, with Germany winning. However it's now stuck as an incoming turn rather than a completed game. Any time I log in to the game it shows up as if it's my move, but when I click on it I get the last move, the end of turn, and then the victory screen. But somehow it's not being kicked from ongoing games into completed games.

tcart, so probably it’s your opponent that we need the detail from.
