When I've run into this problem in the past I've uploaded the
big file to a file server on the interwebs and then send my
opponent the address of the link. It's good for 30 days I
believe. The one I use is here:
https://www.filedropper.com/
Thanks. Good to know for future use. Right now I cannot do this. And don't have time for this. Somebody send the guy this file if he still needs it. Sorry.

I have send you what I could send you. Yahoo mail only allows 25MB. How on Earth this sce become 65MB I don't know. If you couldn't setup a game, try to contact some other to send you this 65MB file.
Because SCE files are already
GZIP'ed (that's why they're so small). So when renamed to ZIP, Windows thinks it can open the compressed file - which someone apparently did, and inside is the
uncompressed 65MB scenario file. Which actually can't be opened in TOAW so not sure how someone apparently managed to do so [:D]
The long random string comes from how this forum (for some reason or other) renames zip files when uploaded.
Anyway - I've attached a file that should work. Opened and saved it in the Editor to give it a stored name that better matches the title.

Oh, thanks! I don't know now how I opened it. It must be my C64 and Amiga trickery, just joking, I am not so technically superior. [:)]
I wrote an AAR so I for sure made it to work. How, now I don't remember. [:D]
But, thanks very much... I am playing Europa 1947. Wow! That is funny scenario. Spaniards have captured Gibraltar and I am preparing to send to the bottom of Mediterran some Allies navies... And sent so much arty to Eastern Front to punish Russians for invading The Reich [:D]
