Currently I have a group of 5 spoils (2xgreen, 2xblue and 1xred).
I have started my turn so the clock is now ticking but I cannot get past the bit where you choose your spoils. No matter what group of spoils I choose it says 'Illegal group' and I am unable to hit the 'play later' button as it is not there. Help!
I have 35mins left on the clock before I miss my turn. All because I cant cash my spoils. What's going on??

It looks like this...
Action loading... You have 18 troops to deploy. Choose a group of 3 spoils to hand in, one of a kind or 3 of the same colour.
b:India
b:Angola
g:Sulawesi
r:North East Brazil
[g:Upper Canada
It wont let me get past this window without cashing in, yet nothing will cash in without it sayin 'Illegal group'

A bit late I guess, but just try to cash in a mixed set, the 'one of each kind'-variant.

A group of 3 spoils is either 3 spoils of the same colour, or 1 spoil of each colour. In your case, handing in North East Brasil, Angola and Sulawesi would be a legal group. So would North East Brasil, India and Sulawesi. In both of those groups, replacing Sulawesi by Upper Canada would give legal groups as well.

1. India OR angola
2. Sulawesi OR Upper Canada
3. North East Brazil
In your example above you do not have three of any one colour, so you have to cash a mixed (also called rainbow) set. This conists of one of each colour, one green (g), one blue (b), one red (r).
