RE: Kashmir Fire DLC broken

<r> It looks like the Kashmir Fire scenario and campaign files and DB3K_488.db3 are included in the v1.03 update, but are missing from the v1.04 update. The 1.04 update includes some fixes to four of the Kashmir Fire scenarios.<br/>

RE: Damn The Torpedoes - Detected Right off The Start

<t> Yup, the one weird trick to this scenario is to lose USS Pharris. Since Pharris is autodetected by the Soviets, the Backfire raids will close to within range of Pharris, then light up their search radars, detect the convoy, and start firing Kitchens.<br/>
