E and I agree AB that we will accept your unconditional surrender! It is truly time for you to leave the Dark Side!

 

[AnthonyBoscia]

Here's the implication of your Rouge wounded MC unit AB...Spain and Gibraltar:
Allied forces are restricted to Gibraltar and cannot enter the surrounding Spanish territory unless the Axis enter Spain. If the Axis enter Spain then the Allies can move through Spain without restriction. OH MY AB !!!

Sorry, team. Looks like I screwed the pooch on that one. Are the Pyrenees still off-limits? Or is it open season in Western Europe now?

E and I agree AB that we will accept your unconditional surrender! It is truly time for you to leave the Dark Side!

Hey a month has passed since the Allies landed on the mainland and I haven't surrendered yet. So I'm doing better than the Fascists at least!

Concerned about the conventional and atomic bombing, however, Mussolini extends a greeting to the American people that perhaps a peaceful solution is possible that would respect mutual boundaries.

Don't get too excited about Spain. As I recall I made all of Spain landmark terrain which has
a high movement cost. Moving from Gibraltar to the Pyrenees is by land will take a long time
until roads are built. This was done to simulate the infrastructure destroyed by the civil war and
resistance by Franco's fascists.

Is it against the rules for Nature units to destroy improvements?

Nature sea units such as gales have bombard capabilities and they can use them to
destroy improvements.

Nature land units do not have pillage ability so they cannot destroy roads or rails,
but they can capture airfields and attack colonies, watchtowers or radars (and destroy them if they are successful).

 

[aksully]

I'll do the best I can over the next couple of days with visitors galore! But I hope all that partake of this US holiday had a very great day or two! And for my part I am happy to have you as great civ 3 friends and players!

Well, rats. I was equating "no pillaging with "no bombardment"

 

[aksully]

Whew..everything back to normal here in freezing Nebraska! Will play the MAllies tonight and get things up and running again!
