BTW Pap there's two problems with the map; Mongolia should be red and there's some weird gray line in southwestern China.

[Pap1723]

OK, I will fix Mongolia, the weird line is actually the edge of British India, I will get rid of it though as you cannot see it anyway.

Thanks,
Pap

Here is the Read Me I have been working on.

The main bulk of it is unit information, please tell me what you think and what needs to be added.

I do have plans to add a Credit section.

Sorry I'm so late, but there was an unexpected party yesterday and the refreshments were plentiful. And it appears hangovers give me luck.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Typhoon launched!
During the night of February 5th a small bomber raid was performed on Moscow. After heavy losses the main defences of Moscow were shattered and bombers began attacking troopconcentrations in Moscow. When der Führer was informed of the result he gave orders for a full offensive on the bolshevik capital. Army group mitte rumbled to the front and managed to break through the Soviet lines with small casualties. Stukas from the surrounding airfields descended on Moscow and despite heavy losses they managed to destroy several Red army divisions and AA-guns.

When the panzers reached Moscow it was clear that they would have to attack without infantry support. Brave tank crews drove straight into Moscow and after heavy fighting in which the burning wrecks lit up the night Moscow was cleared of bolsheviks. Forward elements from the Army group Mitte took up positions in the city and prepare for the inevitable Soviet counterattack.

A strange wreck was found in Moscow, it appeared to be multiple rocket launchers on a truck. The wreck was sent westwards for analysis.

It is believed that the Soviets will recapture the cities this month but reinforcements are on their way.

Alexandria cleared
Afrika Korps prepare for occupying the city next month.

Short news:
*Nairobi captured by airborne troops.
*Raid on Aberdeen, battleship sunk.
*British cruiser sunk in the Atlantic.
*Destroyed some units on the southern front.

Forgot to Ctrl-N my last turn, aren't I clever...

WTG Pavlov! Sure didn't see that coming; those defense bunkers really suck.

You flatterer you.

I am a bit afraid over the safety of Berlin if I could take out a bunker this easily.

[Pap1723]

Hey guys, the bunkers are definately easier to take out in certain cities.

Don't know why, but sometimes it is just luck.

Hell of an attack Pavlov.

-Signed a Cease-Fire and gave Japan 400 Gold

-Either my AI or the American player cancelled our alliance if he could let me know which it was that would be good

To be honest, i forgot to post that. In my last turn, your AI contacted me; but I refused to talk. As a result, the chinese AI cancelled the alliance.
Anyway, i´m not interested in an alliance with China. With this "cease-fire" with the japs... in some way I feel that China betrayed USA.

* Some japanese vessels sank in the pacific ocean
* Some nazi subs destroyed in the atlantic ocean

Ok, as long as you agree, I mean I didn't want the alliance to end, I've got no ill will toward the Allies, China simply could not be at war with Japan and survive.

[Darius871]

But it's not meant to survive in the first place. That's why I've always thought that the British or American player should just play out the Chinese turns. If a human plays China alone, they'll either have a boring game and get wiped out, or they'll make peace, and IMO neither of these are good for the game.

[Choke]

But that wouldn't be realistic either because Japan did almost nothing in China after 1941, they already had the best Chinese cities and they needed their good troops elsewhere, so they dug in and let the Chinese sit there, I think a cease-fire simulates the situation as closely as Civ can.

Besides that the Nationalists (Kuomintang, Chiang) spent more time fighting the Communists (PRC, Mao) than they did fighting the Japanese. So lots of fighting between Japan and China would be more unrealistic than a peace treaty.
