You can do this.
Copy the map files of the scenario you want to edit from:
Data\Maps
to
Documents\Western Civilization Software\Conflict of Heroes - Awakening the Bear\Data\Maps
The map files for a single map typically include six files that all start with the same name.
To copy a scenario file from Awakening the Bear, copy from:
Data\Scenarios\AwakeningTheBear
to
Documents\Western Civilization Software\Conflict of Heroes - Awakening the Bear\Data\Scenarios
There are typically four or more scenario files that all begin with the same name.
After these files are copied to these locations, you can open them in the scenario editor and add units or modify them as you like. Save the changes to map and scenario. You can then play your custom scenario by choosing the "Additional Firefights" location from the "Play Game" screen off the main menu. If you intend to share copies of your map changes or firefight changes with other users, I strongly recommend renaming the map/scenario from the default name so as to distinguish it from the versions distributed with the game.
If you intend to play COH online, never make changes to the map or scenario files located in the game's Data\ locations; always first copy these files to the two locations listed above and then edit them there. If you modify the game version of scenario files you'll end up with a different version of the scenario or map from that of your online opponent, and things will become bad during your game. Also we may make official changes to these scenario files from time to time, and if we do that then we'll end up overwriting any changes to these files that you have made.
I'd be happy to help you figure out any of the steps in this process that might be confusing.
