Hello,
I've posted this in another thread and gotten some good help there, but unfortunately I haven't been able to resolve the problem yet, so thought I might be able to get some more advice here too.

I am trying to start a historical league from 1871. I go through the set-up to create a historical league, select to start from 1871 and am loading the master.csv file (have tried the historical omd file too which doesn't work either). I then select a few options and try to start game, but I get the message that there are an uneven number of teams in a league (9 teams all loaded into one league). If I try some later years I get a message that there need to be an even number of divisions in each league.

I know other people have gotten this to work by editing the league, but I can't even edit the league. The menu says I can't edit the league because it is a historical league.

I know I have the most up to date version of the game and database (just bought the game a few days ago).

I really want this to work. Pre-1900 play is one of the reasons I bought the game but obviously I'm finding it very difficult to get it started without having seemingly having to have an in-depth knowledge of editing files.

Any ideas or suggestions out there? I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance.
