Dealing with Partisans after Guerilla War researched

[CivGuru]

When I attack I always try any have the majority of my enemies cities conquered prior to advent of Guerilla Warfare.
I don't like to have to be attacking extra units all the time. To circumvent this, I always surround a city and then move in for the attack. That way when I capture a city there are no Partisans to remove.

I always attack with tons of spies and a mixed army. and have plenty of engineers to keep my supply routes open. If I mount an assault on any enemy overseas, I always create a beachhead fortress and first couple of ships are engineers, followed by defensive units, then howitzers.
Once I've taken a city I always build up defenses first, SDI, city walls. Hardly ever use SAM Missile bases. I use stealth fighters to defend with instead. Only if I'm outnumbered in aerial combat will I build SAM Missile bases. Immediately after I build an airport.That way I can reinforce on a new continent by airlifting too.

The way I deal with partisans is to make an organized minimal attack and then make peace. I get a whole load of units and figure out how many cities I can take with them. Then I take the furthest city possible with as few units as possible. That city gets a whole load of partisans around it, but I leave them alone because then I attack the city right before it. I continue this, never touching the partisans untill I've nearly expended all my offensive units. Then I use the UN to force a peace treaty and make them remove their partisans.

It usually works, but if it doesn't partisans aren't a big deal. They usually don't attack anything, they just pillage. And if it does work, then all the partisans end up in one city. Then we hear that familiar whirring air siren followed by a massive explosion (sometimes killing thirty units at once).

Anyone for deep fried partisan?

The simpliest way to prevent guerrillas from apearring is to suronf the city with unit before attacking.

No need for

!!!!

I find this feature very reallistic as it is very close to real war.
