Roads to Gettysburg - Scenario 4 - Unable to load saved game

When trying to load scenario 4 from the Roads to Gettysburg module I get an error: “Error loading Scenario 4 Confederate High Tide (Solitaire)” from within the game or “Unable to load saved game” from the launcher. All the other scenarios load fine. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. I am using VASSAL 3.1.14.

thanks

Could you post the contents of errorLog? It should be in the VASSAL
folder in your home directory.

As requested, error log below. Thanks again for any assistance!

I confirm that there’s something wrong with Scenario 4. I’ve filed a bug for this:

This module has no maintainer, so either (1) you should fix it, or (2) you should recruit a maintainer for this module.
