Wow, what a wasteland! Nothing in this discussion group but bot spam.
Anyone out there still play Civ2? I love the WWII scenario and know
it well.

As Germany, I capture Britain (except the mountainous north tip) on
turn 2. On turn 3 two infantry ships leave for America (followed by
aircaraft carriers on turn 4). On the turn they arrive, the game ends
as I have also captured all of Russia and the middle east. Would love
to discuss the strategy and tactics to do this if anyone interested.

I have it installed on my notebook. I haven't played it recently, but
it seems to work in comparison to CIV 4.

Wow, that's fast.

I think I'll want to self-learn that - makes it a bit more fun.

Hope it goes well. I will just recommend that you disband 2 alpine
units in Amsterdam on turn 1 in order to build another troop carrier.

I think you can only win this fast if you are a micromanager, which
some people enjoy and some don't. But fast & loose play can still win
quite quickly with the same strategy.

I am sure you know that in general, putting a military unit on a square
within a rival city area prevents the rival from working the square:
however I wonder whether there is any way of doing that on a sea square? I
have tried with a battleship, and a ship containing a military unit, but it
doesn't work.

I still check here every once in a while.
I'd like to know how you did it.
