6.) I then reloaded the game as if I was the American player.
7.) I could still 'see' all of the pieces, and stuff but the trouble was I
could still see all of the British players cards. There was a button at
the top for "British Hand" but the American Hand button looked like it
could not be pressed. (It couldn't)
What am I doing wrong here??
Any help appreciated.
Where do I set the second password? That is pretending that I am the
second player? Don't you just load up the file? Or do you start a 'new'
game as the American Player. I'm confused here. Where in the procedure do
you set a new password?

'Hidden' stuff depends on the password you set in the preferences. When you r
eload the game, your password is exactly the same, so Vassal assumes you are
the British player. It would work for another player because they would have
a different password.
When testing 'sides' you need to change the password, then load the log file.
B.
NB: I'm convinced now that we should change this for 3.2, as it seems to
cause no end of confusion for people. It's not hard to imagine both
players having 'panzer' as their password...
Thank you for the detailed method on how to do an email turn. But,
I'm afraid your instructions leave something rather important out.
That is: WHERE AND HOW do you change your password? I followed your
instructions very carefully but no where in the instructions does it
show HOW to change the password. My steps.
1.) I started the game as American
2.) Opened the Log file
3.) Began playing
NO WHERE DID THE PROGRAM ASK FOR A PASSWORD and I don't know where
you set this.

1.) Start the game as American
2.) I password the American turn
3.) I start the log file
4.) I place the markers
5.) I end the log file
6.) Save the turn
7.) Start A NEW GAME as BRITISH
8.) Password the game
9.) load the file that I named in step 6
10.) I can move counters and such as British but I don't see any of the American markers placed. Why?

What should sides be keyed on?

Username and password hash. What we're missing right now is the username
part.
I am glad you asked this because I would have never guessed that is how
you change sides even between different playings of the same game (I am
only just now delving into my first CDG game ever in 35-40 years of
wargaming).
