New Manassas scenario, alt-hist#3 -- beta version

[Gil R.]

I've completed a new scenario, and instead of letting the testers have all the fun I figured I would post it here for anyone who wants to take a look and provide feedback. The scenario is an alternate-history one in which the Union did not undertake the flanking attack, leaving it to concentrate its forces at the Stone Bridge, Blackburn's Ford, and other points.

If you want to try it, all you have to do is unzip the attached file and put the scenario folder into the SCENARIOS folder (where you will find similarly named scenario folders). Just do that, and it will be functional. Just be sure to delete it once the scenario is released officially via patch later this week, since patches do not delete folders (so you'll be stuck with it until you remove it yourself).

Please let me know what you think, especially about the set-up, whether the AI does anything dumb, and whether the Victory Hex locations make sense. Thanks!

It looks like I will need to give Eric the files for this scenario sometime Thursday night, so if there are suggestions for changes please let me know before then. (Scenario files can always be tweaked in the future, but once the scenario map on the selection screen is done I am not going to want to move around forced or change Victory Hexes, since that would require a new one.)
