The following text is a compilation of what was salvaged from the old Gathering Forum. It contains postings from several different people.
Thanks goes out to Wolverine for putting this all together.

The scenario asks you to have 25million pnw and connect \London/Paris/Berlin from 1990.
You get several options to take access to various countries or cash, I took the cash and brought a cheap access with a few cities I could max out(Belgium) and still had money to seriously track the old East Germany (which comes available quickly) as well as some industry( in this case grain farms/lumber mill and soon a furniture fact.) Taking the cash gives you a great bond rating so you can get bonds to about 5 million.
Things took off quickly and I was able to buy the poorest of the ai's in France after a couple of years. Buying this french ai gave me access to ALL the other countries !!!!! straightaway. Ionly had brought Belgium -no other country , I guess ai's get free access to all countries.
From then it was just keeping building finally buying ai which controlled Paris and finishing the connections for June 2000 victory and $30m pnw
BTW I also posted my highest salary $92(+$5k bonus) with the next year $94k.
PNW was the usual with shortselling the loosing ai( the other ai was profitable) and aggressively buying my own stock as well as high dividends when possible and company buying back stock.
All in all a standard scenario with the instant access to all countries gained by buying an ai in an unaccessed country the highlight.
