Thankyou!

This time I have written it on a piece of paper so that I cannot accidently delete it...

The French could not be saved, especially when I was Germany. I developed a gambit strategy where I put Russia on hold and dedicated the entirety of Germany's might against France and England. 3 out of 4 times I would have England conquered before America could declare. Then all that was needed was some half way decent defense on a couple beach tiles in Europe. Russia had a bad time after that.

No, I didn't try either of those other games. 3rd Reich, Tito and Jerusalem were my WWII era games. Gettysburg and Antietam were my favorite Civil War era. I learned strategy with 3rd Reich and tactics with Gettysburg. Those games will be with me forever.

Gettysburg was an outstanding game.

Yes, I would use the same TR strategy as you. Taking England out was critical, and it actually enabled the Italians to be useful, and in the primative naval world of TR, the Italian Navy could be quite dominant in the right circumstances.

Russia, even getting a steady feed of BuRP's from the US would be hard pressed to hold out against a full Panzer assault

I did have an opponent in a tournament launch a counter invasion of the UK from the US, which was a smart stategy allowing him to build up, but it took so long to execute that and then go after France that the Russians were a non-issue.

I've got three words for all you nostalgic gamers:
World in Flames.

As for diplo. options, while Civ3 may be a step forward as well as a step back, that step back does exist. It includes the loss of the ability to give units to trading partners.
