MP side/nation display issue

I've adapted my SP Stalingrad scenario into a MP scenario. However, when I create a multiplayer game the options to choose sides are US and Germany - which is incorrect. The sides selected in the editor are USSR and German. In the multiplayer in-game menu if I select US with the green star it is actually the German player side (as displayed in the "my games" active game tab)...and Soviet option is actually German in game...
I'd really like to test this scenario with people and enjoy the fruits of my labor but I fear this will be confusing to people... anyone else experience these issues? It might just be a simple issue similar to the scenario name display when viewing custom singleplayer scenarios... hoping for a fix.

Yep - would appear to be one of a few menu issues. I have the same....but basically US is always player one and Germany always player 2. Easy once you are used to it.

NETSCAPE, are you creating this scenario from scratch?
I am able to assign any nation to Side 1 & or Side 2 when doing so.

yes. It is displaying incorrectly in the MP menus in game. Assigns nations to sides in the editor is fine and straight forward.

Ah, I see now per the PBEM++/Online MP Menu.
'Hotseat' does not show this, which then loads & plays fine per whatever faction is assigned to whatever side.
I guess the only (?) solution, for now, is to clarify this bug in the description.
I would be willing to test this with you to make sure your assigned sides are correct.

NETSCAPE maybe you should report this bug in the Bugs thread in the main forum. The devs are not actively looking into this forum for now.
