TECHUMSEH`S RED OCTOBER
(3 June 2002, 17:20 | Civ2) 
Techumseh released his new scenario, titled Red October. From the readme
The Russian Civil War began following the Bolshevik revolution in November 1917 (October in the Gregorian calendar - hence the name Red October). The revolution itself was short and relatively peaceful. The civil war was by contrast prolonged, bloody and brutal. Beset on all sides by enemies determined to overthrow their infant workers state, the Bolsheviks resorted to centralized military discipline and systematic terror against their enemies.
At the time, Bolshevik leaders believed that the revolution would spread to other European nations exhausted by world war, especially Germany. Revolution did break out in Germany, but was soon defeated, leaving Red Russia isolated. Its` history continued, with many ups and downs, until 1989.
The scenario is for the Test of Time version of Civilization 2 only and it is designed to be played as the Bolshevik player. - MarkG
THANKS FROM FIRAXIS
(3 June 2002, 16:41 | Civ3) Barry Caudill sent us this message for the people who applied for the beta tester positions:
I would like to thank everyone who submitted an application to join the beta team at Firaxis Games. We received several hundred applications, which was great for such a short time period. Unfortunately, we were only looking to fill in some empty spots in the team and I had to whittle this huge number of applications down to about a dozen. It was a very tough decision for me as there were a lot of applications from highly qualified individuals. For those of you who made the final cut, congratulations, you will be contacted before the end of the day (Monday June 3rd) and I will be sending your NDAs out right away. For those in the group that didn’t make the cut, I will be keeping all applications on file and will use them to fill any future needs. Once again, thanks to everyone that applied.
If you applied, check your mail! - MarkG
