Where can I find the "Avalon Hill Arab-Israeli Wars Mod" by user 'Crossroads'?

*It's supposed to bundled with version 1.02 of CSME and it's supposed to show up in JSGME listed as "Avalon Hill Arab-Israeli Wars Mod"....I have version 2.0 and I don't see it in JSGME.

Looking at my default install (2.01), it looks like it is named Alan R. Arvold's Ode to Arab-Israeli Wars 2.0

Thanks Jason,
I have that one listed, but the game board doesn't look like AIW----it doesn't have the yellow borders along hexes with dunes/elevations; and it doesn't have black roads .... is that an internal option that has to also be turned on within the game?

Oh, maybe try added the 2D Boardgame Mapboards ?
This. And the 2D Black Unit Profiles.

(The AH Arab-Israeli Wars UI mod was for CSME 1.x versions. I have not had the time to upgrade it to CSME 2.x, with the new 2D Zoom-In view and larger file sizes. I won't have time for it in the near future either, sorry. )

'2D Black Unit Profiles' works ..... but the '2D Boardgame Mapboards' does not work. I have the default maps and terrain all the time. Does it only work with certain scenarios?

2D Boardgame mod merely replaces the "open terrain hexes" with white hexes and black dots in the hex centers, while all terrain and building tiles are then drawn on top of them, unmodded.

You are not seeing that?

Here's how it plays out for me:

Yes, that is the difference with the mods. It took a bit of an effort to create the AH AIW mod for CS Middle East 1.x series, and with the file changes, I just haven't got the time to migrate the mod for now.

Anyone out there willing to try it out, give me a shout, happy to nudge towards how to do it.
