Your suggested solution works. Opening the file in the scenario editor and then re-saving it before re-opening it in the game engine, although awkward, was successful.

Looks like the Scen Editor creates a Signature file when this is done. I looked in your DB zip file and the Signature file is missing. Perhaps you could include it there so that not every user is forced to open and re-save the file as many ANW players may be new to the game and thus unfamiliar with the Scen Editor.

Found another interesting phenomenon. I am pretty certain that it is a game effect and not a scenario problem. I haven't posted it as a bug since I am not certain if others will be able to replicate it. I can replicate it easily on my computer every time.

Run the attached saved game file and watch how you apparently switch from the UN side to another side. I've attached Screen shots to show the effect. Note the game clock. As the game runs, you switch to a different side. Please confirm this if you can.
