How to install the ALLIED GENERAL scenarios ?

Copy the scenario file (e.g. game0xx.scn) in the SCENARIO subdirectory of your
ALLIED GENERAL directory. The number of the scenario (e.g. game002.scn) is 
corresponding to the scenario numbers of the 'Scenario SelectionScreen' (e.g. 
to start the game002.scn, you have to click on the "El Agheila" scenario, the 
number 3 belongs to "Crusader", the "Tripoli" scenario should be the game006.scn 
etc.).

Don't be afraid to overwrite the original scenario. On the ALLIED GENERAL CD 
in the AG/SCENARIO directory you'll always find the original files. Just copy 
them back.
If there comes a "mapnames.str" and/or a "panzequp.eqp" in this *.zip file, 
copy this files to the DATA subdirectory of your ALLIED GENERAL directory.
They often work only with this specific scenario. If you want to play "normal"
ALLIED GENERAL scenarios, you've to copy the original files back to the DATA
subdirectory of your hard disc. You'll find the originals in the AG/DATA 
subdirectory of your ALLIED GENERAL CD.

What about the victory conditions ?
Due to the fact that all scenarios are basicly written in PG format, you have to 
change some values for make them playable in AG. This causes a wrong "Scenario 
Winner Screen". So, regardless of the message on the "Scenario Winner Screen" 
(e.g. Axis victory), the scenario is designed in this manner: the attacker ALWAYS
have to take ALL the victory objectives. If the attacker fails to do so, it's a
loss for his side !
Normally the winner of the scenario is exactly the opposite of what is displayed
(e.g. if you see the "Axis victory" screen, the the Allied side have won the battle).
