jwolf -> RE: Create a new scenario from a saved game (11/26/2014 2:28:23 AM)

The key first is the length of your new scenario. If it's longer than 50 turns the game will make it a campaign (with those victory conditions) even if you try to set other conditions. So in your situation you can adapt your save to a new scenario and play on for as many as 50 turns. At that point, in theory, you can repeat the process for another 50 turns; but by the end of your first 50 turns you will most likely have wiped the Soviets off the map completely.
You don't need to assign victory cities if you don't want to. They can be part of scenario victory conditions but you can leave it with just the points from casualties if you want. It is possible to set the victory cities and I remember this was a bit tricky and I kept getting it wrong, but I don't remember the details. It is in the editor manual somewhere.
Shift W does indeed switch sides, but you need to be in map mode.
Edit: Two other points I should mention that came up in an earlier thread on this topic. First, the cumulative loss stats don't get transferred cleanly so it won't start with the same data you had at the end of the campaign (unless you mod this in somehow). Second, German new arrivals are kept intact but all withdrawals are erased and have to be written back in. I did this once and it was a major hassle, checking each ground and air unit one by one.
