I downloaded it and converted from cow to toaw-matrix edition.
When i play it as nato), at the end of first turn, instead to go to the second turn, scenario stops and pushes me back to desktop.
Can you help me? has anyone got this problem with this scenario or other?

Salve!

Are you playing PBEM (against yourself maybe) or hotseat? It plays just fine in hotseat here. If you're in PBEM mode, the game exits right after the end of your turn, automatically writing a final .sal file in your save folder along with the .pbl one. If it's the situation you're facing, it's a normal behaviour.

Hope it helps

Yeah!
after closing my turn, when appears the phrase " Ci vorranno alcuni secondi" ( sorry it's in italian, but i think it is "It takes a few seconds"), it jumps to desktop.

Does it take you to the desktop with a 'windows message'? I.e. something like this, just in italian certainly (this application is closed due to a invalid process..):

No, no message from windows appears. Only desktop and the initial image of toaw3 ( play, forum, manual.... exit)

It looks like the events loop at around event 371.

Open that scenario in the editor and modify event 371 to do something esle , possibly point it to event 370?

You should also send an email to the author telling him about the loop.

this kind of crash means it's event related, you're lucky ralph showed up to point you the event :p
