	A scenario for Civ 2 FW and MGE by Nick Dowling (‘Case’)		'''A scenario for Civ 2 FW and MGE by Nick Dowling (‘Case’)'''

	(1936-1949)This scenario is an attempt to design a truly PBEM friendly WW2 scenario. It is not intended to be played as a single player scenario. As a result of this design philosophy, many of the elements which are standard in WW2 scenarios are missing from this one: war is notinevitable and the available units are balanced. As a result, the German player isn’t automatically fated for greatness and the French can avoid doom. (FW required, MGE recommended).

	Fortifications: Most of the map squares in this scenario are fortified. This prevents stacks of units being destroyed in a single attack, something which is obviously historically invalid. As a result of this, units are often actually safer when placed outside cities then they are inside cities. As was the case in the war, the fate of cities will normally be decided outside the city limits. Major rivers and remote areas are not fortified. This is intended to represent the difficulty of carrying out large scale military operations across such terrain.		'''Fortifications''': Most of the map squares in this scenario are fortified.

	Governments: I’ve tried to get out of the tired civ routine where the Fascist states are represented by Fundamentalism, which is probably the most efficient form of government in Civ. As anyone who’s studied Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy can tell you, these states suffered from appalling levels of inefficiency and corruption. Similarly, I’ve tried to break the mould where the Democracies are represented by inefficient wartime governments such as Democracy. Civilians didn’t protest about bombers in WW2, and the productive capacity of the democracies was truly astounding. Fundamentalism much better represents the democracies of WW2 then it does the totalitarian states.

	Sound: At present this scenario has no sounds. They will be added in a later version.Spain: Where’s Spain?

The long answer is that I would have liked to include Spain but didn’t have enough Civs to do so, and I didn’t want it to provide lebensraum for the French player by using the neutral dictatorships to represent a full fledged Spain. As it is, I’ve included the main cities for trading purposes, and that’s it.		'''Sound:''' At present this scenario has no sounds. They will be added in a later version.Spain: Where’s Spain?

If you’re unfamiliar with any of the national specific units, a quick Google search should set you right.

	INFANTRY		'''INFANTRY'''

	Despite all the attention paid to armour, infantry was the true king of the WW2 battlefield. While tanks were vital for creating and plugging breakthroughs and attacking other tanks, infantry was required to hold any gains the tanks made. Throughout the war infantry formations also possessed a powerful anti-tank ability, which increased dramatically upon the introduction of infantry AT weapons such as the Bazooka and advanced AT guns and tactics.

	Partisans: Most partisan bands were made up of survivors from defeated combat units.

	ARMOUR		'''ARMOUR'''

	WW2 Armoured Formations were powerful, but still rather vulnerable units. Their lack of integral infantry and complete dependency on properly functioning lines of supply meant that they were ill-suited to defensive tasks. Armoured units in this scenario are weak on defence and should always be accompanied by infantry units.		WW2 Armoured Formations were powerful, but still rather vulnerable units.

	Armoured Recon: Armoured recon units played a vital, but limited, role. While primarily intended as the as the eyes and ears of the various armies, they also served as screening forces and mobile reserves. Note: The Armoured Recon unit is a diplomat type unit. As a result, it is destroyed after you use it to scout a city. Like everything else, information has it’s price.		Armoured Recon: Armoured recon units played a vital, but limited, role.

	ARTILLERY		'''ARTILLERY'''

	Corps Artillery: Most army corps had a number of independent artillery battalions directly assigned to the Corps HQ. These battalions, which were usually equipped with guns of larger calibre then the divisional artillery, were either used to augment divisions tasked with difficult missions or in a relatively independent role such as providing long range counter-battery and indiction fire.

	Nuclear Bomb: Despite allegations that the decision to use nuclear bombs on Japan was driven by racism, there should be no doubt that atomic bombs would have been dropped on Germany if she had still been in the war in August 1945.
