There is the possibilty of waiting for Rhegium to be taken over by another faction and luring them out. It is of course theoretical in the current scenario. I was able to play the battle at Rhegium by intalling RTRPE 1.4 and the previous M&N mod. It seems the new install contains the critical flaw as well. I see you have reacted to my posts in tech support about this, good work.
