Many thanx tesco
Your reply gave me an idea.
Unzipping the compressed file gives me the file
Then I copied all the files out of Survivor 2rd1_14 to "savegame" directly.
And it worked! 
I would think that the program would look for the combat file in the same Survivor 2rd1_14 folder where it found the data for the turn. But apparently it doesn't.
It is a workaround which works but is kinda messy.
Does anyone have a better solution?
