Have you tried loading scenario #35 even though it doesn't indicate a scenario present?

A scenario will not appear on the game menu scenario list unless there is a corresponding scnXXX.cmt file (where XXX is the three digit scenario number) containing the scenario title in text format.

This file should be in with all the other scenario files in the SCEN folder.

If it is not there you can easily create it yourself using Notepad.

Are you sure??

I just downloaded "Wars on the Horizon - BETA Version 1.07 Updated 8/11/2016" and the .cmt file is present and it is definitely setup for slot 35.

Are you sure you have the latest version??? (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3999352 - download in first post)
