<u>Expected Release Date:</u> Early April
"THE STRUGGLE FOR EUROPE" is a Civ2 MGE scenario created by Marko Urm about WW2 in the European Theatre. With 116 units, 234 events, 65 rules, 30 .SCN files, and 18 MB in size, this is the BIGGEST scenario ever created for Civilization II (MGE)! Below is a complete preview written by Marko:

The scenario allows you play as the leader of Axis, Allies, Soviet Union, France, Finland, Sweden, Turkey, Spain, Jugoslavia or Minor Nations (Switzerland, Portugal and Ireland during last half of the scenario). Also multiplayer versions are created. You can start from any point of war from May 1940 to May 1945.
In order to make managing the scenario (without sounds more than 18MB - scenario has 234 events, 65 rules and 13 units files) as easy as possible for player there is a .BAT file with system of menues which manages everything. There is no need to make any specific subfolders for different versions or backup files. Before starting the scenario or continuing saved game player needs only run Europe.bat file and the program set up right version.
There are 10 different dates which you can choose as starting time for the game:
May 1940 - "Battle for France"
July 1940 - "Battle for England"
June 1941 - "Operation Barbarossa"
November 1941 - "Battle of Moscow"
July 1942 - "Battle of Stalingrad I "
November 1942 - "Battle of Stalingrad II"
July 1943 - "Battle of Kursk"
June 1944 - "Operation Overlord"
December 1944 - "Battle of Bulge"
May 1945 - "The End of Axis"
There is created as realistic as possible war situation in Europe for each starting date in three versions: for playing as Axis (Soviet Union and United Kingdom are overstrenghted), as Allies or Soviets (Axis is overstrenghted) or as minor nation or multiplayer (relative strenghts of nations are more realistic). So there are 30 .SCN files in scenario.
There are 10 nations you can chose to play but only 7 are present in each starting point of course. Axis, England, Soviet Union, France, Spain, Jugoslavia and Neutrals are present at May 1940. July 1940 France is named to Vichy France. June 1941 Jugoslavia is replaced by Turkey. November 1942 Vichy France is replaced by Finland and May 1945 Axis is replaced by Sweden.
All nations are playable but for example playing as Jugoslavians is extremely hard.
The scenario has 3 difficulty levels: easy, medium and hard. They differ mostly by events, hard version has also its own rules and .SCN files.
Maybe only Xin Yu can win hard version.
The medium version is very hard but winnable.
Easy level is possible to win in first try by experienced Civ player (but it is not very easy also).
There are 5 rows of events:
Axis
Allies
Soviet
Multi 1 (for playing as minor nation or multiplayer when Axis is under human control)
Multi 2 (for multiplayer when Axis is under computer control)
Events files are changed 2 times per year from Summer 1940 to Spring 1948.
