After configuring a Custom Arena and saving state in the "Arena Tables", a bug prevents returning later and restoring the situation. Almost every other detail can be restored, but nobody has been able to find a way of restoring field ownership to a custom arrangement of countries. This is discussed further here:
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,318868.0.htmlComment: The general situation with saving and restoring Arena Tables is cumbersome and confusing, and I think this goes a long way to explain the sparse participation in custom arenas: Various menus display prominent references to options that either don't work at all or are better handled at other points in the process, and experience has shown that extra, counter-intuitive steps are often required to make changes "stick", etc. With experience, the community is getting better at finding a workable path forward, and we seem to have found (cumbersome) solutions to every problem except restoration of field ownership. I trust that with experience, the developers will replace the confusion with clarity and bring this area of Aces High up to the same standards of excellence that prevail elsewhere.
