Is 3.19.004b or 3.19.004a best to use?

Looks like they took "a" off the table

And both espionage challenges require 3.19.004a. This is getting confusing now...

I have spent much time confused on the issue too. This game can only be played on 3.19.004b to filter out espoinage victories. The same is true for the espionage games. All other games can be played on 3.19.003 or 3.19.004b.

We did not want to delay the Challenge, so 3.19.003 is still an option for several games while we get the new mod finalized.

Apologies for the confusion - current position is documented here.
