        Don't worry, the Russians are finally getting theirs. I'll be in Moscow in like 2-3 turns.
        Do you have a link to where you got that scenario?

          Its a damn fun scenario. Especially to guide a small, backwards nation to glory against the biggest titans the world has ever seen. I couldn't even build most units since they require oil and a nation's trade (French Trade, USSR Trade, German trade, etc). The Finns' units were.... not quite up to par with the rest of the world.

          But with what limited resources I had I was able to take Sweden and Norway and then rush NE USSR to secure some Russian trade. Then I tried to ally with the Axis to get oil, but then they cut me off, so I allied with the Russians instead, and worked on getting my own source of oil, thus taking all of Africa & the mideast from the Axis (who had taken it from the Allies earlier). Once that was done, I built up my army a bit more and took all of Germany, France & Italy in short order.

          Then I sat and built up for like 40 turns, cause the Soviets, who had sat out my war with the Axis, and already owned all of eastern europe and Turkey, just built up a terrifyingly large army. Hundreds and hundreds of tanks and snipers and such.

          I couldn't compete, but at least I was smarter. Bombardment is huge in this game. I had like 150 bombers, and like 200 artilery, and whenever they sent a huge stack after me I just bombed them all down to nothing. Now I've got a larger army and I'm bringing the hurt to Russia. All while being a democracy too.

          Anyhow, the scenario is cool. Lots of nice units for each nation (maybe too many, I dunno), its well balanced, and there are like 25 playable countries. The civilopedia sucks though, so prepare to be disappointed if you want accurate info on the crapload of new units.

                  Finland is not impressed by your antics.
                  Keep out, you are not welcome.

But in the thinking behind it, there is something more sinister which is shown by the fact that already there are certain areas and topics where freedom of speech, in the sense of the right to open and frank discussion, is being gradually but significantly eroded." -- Judge Neil Denison
