Because the game was only intended to cover East Prussia and Lodz. At some point the 2nd Masurians Lakes was a "nice to have bonus scenario" and I spent some extra time finishing it because I wanted to provide more value. ;)
Anyway, the 2nd Masurian Lakes scenario was made possible because it happened to fit in the East Prussia 14 map (the Battle of Warsaw would not completely fit on the Lodz map without a sizable extension). Also, because the 1st Masurian Lakes battle is present, including the 2nd one seemed like a nice conclusion to the campaign since the Russians were finally completely kicked out of East Prussia.
