Could you please clarify:

1. What changes have been made ?

I fixed the goal so that you could get 100% of the points.

I changed the distribution governing the American SSN's starting position. It shouldn't effect anything, but it will give you a chance to see a little more of the arctic.

I made the Soviet SSN exclusively an AI because it seems like not many people were willing to play this as a MP scenario. It really is best played in more than one sitting. The last time I played it, it took just under 20 hours from the starting time to killing the SSBN. The escort was still there. It's also harder from the American perspective, I think.

I changed it so that the SSBN's escort would be an early model AKULA some fraction of the time, and a VICTOR III some other fraction of the time. The early AKULAs were basically just SIERRAs but made of steel instead of titanium, so I figured it'd make it a little more "period." The DW database really isn't well suited to Cold War scenarios, unfortunately, but we do what we can.

I changed the Soviet subs' starting depths.

I changed the American SSN's starting depth.

I expanded a the scenario notes a little bit.

I changed the scenario description slightly.

I also added some currents reflecting some oceanographic data I found.

And I password protected it, so that munchkins can't play with an SSN 21 in 1988. :-)

2. What is, and what purpose has, the database file 'thumbs.db' ?

None, it's a relic of my operating system.
