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 want to be the exception. At least give me the frigging password to your scenario so I can change that one value.

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.

Actually, I'd argue it is better to leave it as an Improved Akula I (I assume that's what it was before). If you are in the Cold War, there will be relatively few 688I variants (is TB-23 even out yet?), and mostly Flight II and Flight Is which are noisier. At least it'd be better balanced, with both sides having a better boat. And you can play the Improved Akula.

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

Gimme password. Please! Come on, don't spoil the fun. The scenario is just as good for 2005 instead of Cold War.
