[WarInEur] My Scenario

I guess this calls for an explanation.
A year ago I upgraded the computer on which I ran CWIE1. I
copied/restored all the files onto another machine and, after some
frantic efforts to get enough software working on the replacement for
day-to-day use, I finally got to the point where I moved CWIE1 back,
thinking I might play it, from time to time, if it were available. The
new machine, by the way, has a 700Hz Pentium processor instead of a
33Mhz 80486, so some improvment in game performance seems likely.
As has consistently been the case, CWIE1 had to be reinstalled from
disk. Apparently the original copying process corrupted the files. I
was able to recover everything except the scenario I had created,
called "standard.scn".
I know that, some time in the past, I have provided individuals on
this list with at least the document I recovered (detailing the Soviet
requirements pre-Barbarossa). I don't know if I ever provided anyone
with a copy of the scenario file. (I remember /offering/ to do so, but
I don't recall if anyone took me up on it.) This is the scenario which
duplicates the starting positions in BWIE1 in September 1939. I
remember the main changes: the CW has a bunch of BGs to place straight
away and the Germans do /not/ have four 6-5s cleverly poised to invade
Norway immediately. I believe there were some other minor setup
differences. Also, the Soviet AP/PP were modified to match BWIE1.
If anyone has a copy of the scenario, could you send it to me? If
nobody has a copy, or is willing to send it, well, then I can either
recreate it or wait for CWIE2 to appear. I have, after all, no idea if
I will actually find time to play CWIE1, or CWIE2, for that matter.
