AltNextScenario=Maps/Missions/GDI9C.MAP

At the default, winning the mission opens the map selection screen and the player chooses where the campaign goes. Setting the key replaces that choice with the mission’s own: the campaign is advanced to NextScenario, or to AltNextScenario when the second global flag is set, and the screen is never shown.

The advance is still a campaign advance, not a direct load. The named map has to be one of the choices the map selection data offers from the mission’s current stage, and the stage number moves with it. NextScenario covers what happens when the name is not among them.
