What's your Strategy?

Probably best if you try the first, highlighted option.ORIGINAL: berto
This is a bug, maybe not so major, depending on how you look at it. At least there are ways to work around the problem.
Basically, it's this:
[*]When you load an older (version 11 or before) night scenario, and during your initial playing session, the GFV in the .scn file (last number, fourth line) applies.
[*]All save files are stamped version 12, the data file version as of 2.02.
[*]In all subsequent play sessions, after a reload, the new default 6-hex GFV comes into play.
So, GVF varies between the first play session vs. all post-save/reload following (unless, like with most EF night scenarios, the initial GFV is explicitly 6).
Another confirmation of: There Will Be Bugs.
<sigh> [:(]
Not a disastrously bad bug, but a bug all the same.
Players of JTCS 2.02 night scenarios have several options:
[*]On first loading a night scenario, immediately save it, exit, then reload. GFV of 6 will apply throughout the scenario.
[*]Before loading a legacy (version <= 11) night scenario, edit the .scn file, changing the last number, fourth line, to 6. GFV of 6 will apply throughout the scenario.
[*]Play a night scenario from beginning to end, without saving, exiting, then reloading. In this case, the designer-specified GFV, as set in the .scn file, will apply throughout the scenario.
[*]Just resign yourself to the bug, accept that at some point in your play through, when you reload from save, GFV will likely change, to 6.
