The Grand War for 2.7

TheDog

@RogerCooper
Can you update all maps in the map repository?

If so, can you fix The Grand War, so it runs on TripleA 2.7

The Grand War needs a file editing so it will run
In decorations.txt
remove line 108

@LaFayette
Would you grant me access to all map files so I too can fix maps for 2.7 ?

RogerCooper

@thedog I will take care of it.

@rogercooper

@thedog I tried this on my computer with the latest version and it works correctly without any changes.What is the error you are receiving?

The Grand War is one of the most interesting scenarios for TripleA.
