I say yes, the Beta is definitely fun to play.

I'm playing the game shown below in my sig, and I've had no iron, marble, coal, oil, or aluminum in any of my cities, just horses, and no luxuries except whales. I recently managed to get some aluminum, oil, and coal by culture bombing my borders WAY out. I expect that when the time comes I...

There is no distinction made between ocean-going troop transports, and small craft for actual amphibious landings, such as canoes or Higgins boats. I wouldn't enjoy having to disembark troops to reload them onto smaller landing craft. So I'm sanguine about low-tech military craft sinking any...

Thanks Dennis!

Chicago, half the time, and China one-third of the time.

Thanks! A tactic good enough perhaps to affect strategy!

The Soviets didn't defeat Japan. ------------- I just wanted to recommend a couple of recently published books: The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War, by Andrew Roberts; Manstein: Hitler's Greatest General, by Mungo Melvin. Lessons from martial history, such as...
