The problem is that we can't start the game anyway...
Any solution Winn ?

The new scenario is Battle of Gettysburg. I was able to select it using From the Front as the Scenario Type and M44 file as the Scenario Source. Here is the
M44 file.
Special rules:
-The marked hex is the high-water mark of the Confederacy during the Civil War. It is worth 2 permanent medals for the Confederacy should they reach this point and 1 temporary medal for the Union.
-Sniper rules are in effect (Troops 10 - Snipers).
-The Mobile Artillery unit represents the Union's superior artillery capabilities (Troops 14 - Mobile Artillery).
-The sandbags in the middle represent a stone wall and a permanent benefit to the Union only (Terrain 12 - Wall).
-Cavalry rules are in effect (Troops 8 - Cavalry).
-The Air Power card is played as Artillery Bombard.
-The Confederacy started the battle with a massive artillery bombardment. Although mostly ineffective, some Union units are weakened at the start.
-The artillery closest to the creek are Big Guns (Troops 3 - Big Guns).
I just tested and did not encounter any bugs. I don't have a PDF of the scenario but you can
see it here. Just ignore all my crazy moves during testing.

We finally played the Finals Match!
game 1: Deepnet (Allies/Union) vs Zivago (Axis/Confederacy): 6-2
game 2: Deepnet (Axis) vs Zivago (Allies): 6-2
2-0 games for Deepnet
In game 1, Zivago made a right flank attack attack on turn 1. Both of us were unfamiliar with this scenario, and we think now that the both sides have to be very carefully before crossing the open terrain. I was able to fend off his direct attack with artillery fire, then some recon-1s to rebuild my cards. At that point, I was ahead a little, and with the medal to start for the union, I was able to get the win.
In game 2, I was lucky to begin with Artillery Bombard, and soften his front lines a lot. And, then i just had all the cards: Barrage (to take out an artillery), and to HQ cards. Not much Zivago could do!
Thanks for the game... a pleasure as always
Dan/Deepnet

Congratulations to Dan. He played very well, as usual.
Thanks to Winn81 for organizing the oldest (and now the longest

) tournament in M44 history ...
I would have been very happy to win this one for the second time but that was not my time.
So, now, I have to win the Belgian Open ...
