Malcolm was a very good cat.
I've got it. Looks like we're 12-15 turns from ending it.

Malcolm was a very good cat.
Pre-turn: Slider to 10%, assign a bunch of scientists instead of police and taxmen, Jetpropulsion still due in 1.
IBT:
Very slow inter-turn. AIs must be creating new cities or something...
Lowlands signs peace with the Brits, but then Australia declares on them.
Jetpropulsion > The Cold War, due in 4 with the slider at 10%
"I told you so"! We didn't need Focused Research and the Antibiotics wonder after all
Amusingly, we're starting research on The Cold War 3 years after the IRL Cold War ended!
Our spy in Canberra gets caught
Southern Africa caught trying to expose our spy
T1:
I upgrade a few troops, check on the cities that have grown, and hit End Turn.

Propaganda in Hard Coal.
Southern Africa caught planting a spy.
Greeks caught trying to expose our spy.
T4:
Turns out the Vikings razed one of the Mongolian core cities (N of Almalik). Mongolia might fall without any help from us!
IBT:
Britain and Israel sign peace.
Mongols...give us the boot order? Strange, I didn't think we had any troops in their borders. Maybe I was careless with one of the ships...
Australia declares war on the Mongols. Wow, they're not popular.
Israel re-declares on the British!
Cold War > Advanced Avionics, due in 5
This advance makes the Enterprise-class CVN available to the USA, which was built starting in 1958. We're 40 years behind history in this game!
Our spy in Athens is caught.
T5:
Science slider to 20% to get research down to 4 turns
IBT:
Mongols and Italy/Rome sign peace.
Indochina and Israel sign MPP.
Indochina and Scandinavia both want us to sign MPP+RoP
Lawyer kills one of our Adventurers near the Scandinavian border.

Mongols try, and fail, to retake Choibalsan. Looks like it was close, though.
We catch S Africa planting a spy again.
Propaganda in Hard Coal
T6:
We have our Lawyer chat with the enemy Lawyer. He dies before signing our contract.
Horrified by the Scandinavian onslaught, the people vote to intervene on behalf of the Mongols. So far, though, only limited aid is authorized.
Mujahideen "volunteers" strike at a few Viking targets.

Mujahideen pushes Marine back near Tsetserleg.
Mujahideen dies to Scandinavian Infantry.

Mujahideen pushes Armored Car back
Mujahideen kills Armored Car
Mujahideen dies to Armored Car, no damage
Mujahideen finally kills it.
Mujahideen kills Armored Car
Mujahideen kills Armored Car
IBT:
India and Brazil sign peace.
We watch some warfare between Scandinavia and Britain in the north -- note to Civinator, one of the tanks available to Scandinavia has a very slow death animation. It's the one where the turret goes flying.
Note: Based on later turns, I think it was Stridsvagn m42.
We also watch a bunch of action in Mongolia. Baruun-Urt falls, despite our interference.
Scandinavian forces kill a Peacekeeper (Jersey Joe, I'm beginning to think you have a point about them
) and a Mujahideen that I couldn't quite cover.
T7:
There isn't as much to do without declaring full-on war.
We do lose 1 Mujahideen against a Scandinavian Infantry...
Science slider to 10%, Advanced Avionics still due in 2.
IBT:
Italy/Rome declares war on Persia
Israel and India sign peace.
Persia and India sign MPP. Why do I have the feeling that another war declaration will be announced soon?
Britain and Austria-Hungary sign peace.
Australia declares war on Austria-Hungary!
Scandinavia complains about our troops. We apologize...not ready to declare war!
I watch a lot of military action between Scandinavia and Britain. Civinator, I really like the armored car unit that Britain has (Daimler Dingo, I think). The death animation is oddly kind of cute! The vehicle's front end sort of bounces up.
T8:
I dial up Scandinavia and give them the bad news.
The war doesn't start well. I lose a Hotchkiss to a Flak.
A T-62 does a MUCH better job.
Koping:
Katyusha barely kills Mobile Flak. Interesting animation, firing off the rockets.
Self-Prop Howitzer (D) dies on a second Mobile Flak So much for the 30 attack
T-62 kills Mobile Flak
T-62 kills the wounded Mobile Flak and occupies the city.
Liberation of Choibalsan:
T-62 kills Scandinavian Infantry
T-62 kills Armored Car
T-62 kills Stormartillerivagn m43...which tips over a little too slowly when it dies.
In the mountains N of Darkhan...
T-62 kills 3 Armored Cars, goes from regular to Elite
T-62 kills Armored Car and ... something like Stridsvagn? It was a 7-defense tank-looking unit, and it's the one with the turret floating away slowly in the death animation.
2 BRDM-1s kill 2 Armored Cars...and capture a Northeuropean Worker while we're at it
We bomb troops in Baruun-Urt and Tsetserleg.
Trelleborg:
T-62 takes out a Scandinavian MG-Btln and destroys a Radar-Tower
...then ... barely kills a Flak. The city is ... ours? That was too easy.
Kristianstad: We lose 1 T-62 taking out 4 Mobile Flaks
Copenhagen: We lose 1 Eastern T-26 taking out the radar tower.
Then one Heavy Tank kills two Flaks; city is ours.
Vaxjo: Eastern T-26 retreats
A second one kills a Flak and destroys a radar tower.
Two more take down the Mobile Flaks on garrison duty.
Sukhoi-7B shot down on a bombing run!
T-62 kills Scandinavian MG-Btln guarding a radar tower.
Reykjavik: We lose one Eastern T-26 reducing a Flak; three more get the job done.
Falun: We lose 5 BRDM-1s and a T-62. Easily the bloodiest battle of the war
Nykoping: We lose 1 T-62 before the gates fall.
Norrkoping is another bloody battle, costing two T-62s before falling.
Vikings have a flotilla in the inland sea. Modern Launchers, a helicopter, and a couple of bombers damage all the ships there.
We do some heavy bombing in Malmo to prepare for our Marine landing.
We also bomb Stockholm, Visby, and Uppsala. We lose 2 copters over Visby before I redirect bombing.
Modern Marines kill 3 units at Malmo to waltz into the harbor.
4 Alpine Infantry die in order to reduce a radar tower in the mountains near Uppsala.
Then 5 T-62s kill 8 defenders.
We attack Visby (surrounded by mountains and forests) with Alpine troops. Only one dies, and it enables us to take the city this turn intead of in 2-3 turns.
We lose another T-62 at Orebro, but we manage to take the city with only 4 tanks
Battle of Stockholm:
T-62 kills two MG btlns
T-62 kills two more...
Stockholm is now ours.
Goteborg: We lose two T-62s before we manage to take the city.
For Helsingborg, we get the Too Many Cities message, so combat settlers are right out.
We lose one BRDM-1, then a T-26 kills the Flak and opens the gates.
Baruun-Urt takes 2 T-62s; it had three defenders!
Tsetserleg has four defenders, but 2 T-62s handle it.
Darkhan costs another T-62, but it falls just the same.
Scandinavia is down to two cities on our continent.
We've taken some losses, so I up our science and lux sliders to 20%. That will give us a comfortable margin to still learn Advanced Avionics regardless of how the inter-turn goes.
IBT:
Oops, I clicked out of the game -- white screen -- so I didn't see any updates until...
Advanced Avionics > Mars Mission, due in 5.
T9:
Looks like the Brits took Linkoping.
The Vikings killed a couple of our Adventurers -- maybe with a Stridsvagn m42? There's a wounded one next to Goteborg.
Scandinavia also obviously bombarded Nykoping and Reykjavik in the inland sea.
Self-Prop Howitzer (D) kills Stridsvagn, no sweat!
Modern Marines kills Scandinavian Armored Car
T-62 kills Scandinavian Infantry
Battle of Gavle:
T-62 retreats
T-62 kills Flak
T-62 destroys Flak
T-62 kills Infantry.
This is ... not the end of the Scandinavians?
Oh, no.
OH, NO.
THEY HAVE ISE AND NAGASAKI!
We're not going to wipe them out before the game ends.
On the bright side, a VERY satisfying series of bombing runs sinks their inland-sea task force.
IBT:
Mongols and Nubia sign MPP
Lowlands and Persia sign peace.
Mongols declare war on Persia! Okay, guys. You do you.
Australia and Brazil sign peace.

T10:
Mekka starts ICBM, prebuild for Mars Landing
IBT:
Austria-Hungary and Lowlands sign peace.
Indo-China and Italy/Rome sign peace.
India and Mongols sign peace.
India tries to plant a spy. They didn't think that we would notice, but ... we did.
T11: Mostly I'm just moving troops back to their staging points near the capital and looking at rioting/resisting cities. I do find and sink a couple of Scandinavian warships with our carriers, though.
Here's the wreckage of the Scandinavian empire:
And a bonus shot of our fleet:
IBT:
Britain and India sign peace.
Oof, Australia is screwed! Britain has taken two of their remaining cities on the continent...so they're closing in on the capital, too:
Also, Brazil and Lowlands sign peace.
Austria-Hungary declares war on the Dutch! I guess the peace treaty on the prior turn was a trick.
Italy wants to sign MPP+RoP. Not gonna happen.
T12:
Oof, Australia has it even worse. Canberra is the only city it has on the continent anymore.

So, of course, now Scandinavia needs to war on the Persians!
...and the Indians, too.
South Africa wants MPP + RoP. Nope!

...but before we go, Propaganda in Utica!
Military plans get stolen, too.

Congrats, team!
I posted the space race with 9 completed parts. As asked for, here are two more:
Pressing Mars Landing button loaded a very short video of flowers.
I was expecting a greeting from Tars Tarkas or Dejah Thoris 
- so I know everything here worked well. The shown video is the original Civ 3 video of starting the rocket (in unmodded Civ 3 to Alpha Centauri).
