About This File
I cannot find a way to change the default 'party' in the editor so if you try to run this in offline session you'll be placed in blue (the defenders) which won't work.
You will need to play this via the Network session and switch to TF Hannibal.
This Scenario is designed for 2+ players in COOP but can be played alone.
