My apologies... I forgot we had friends visiting last night. 
I'll get the game started tonight.

I...am...an Enchanter!
Game started using version 2.2 of Kobayashis ZWK scenario.
I am working on the assumption that we are following Kobayashis ZWK house rules AND the more recently added Additional house rules in the PBEM FAQ Sticky thread. I would have played the turn differently if I did not think these rules all apply in this game.
Original House Rules
- Allies (which includes Minor Allies when human) can only declare war on Soviets and Minor Axis. (War with Axis is constant)
- No bombers or torpedoes on Carriers, No V1s on Subs
- No torpedoes on Land. Do not fire a torpedo without a sub present. Dont build torpedo if city is not on the water.
- If negotiating with AI, take only agreed upon tech in exchanges/gifts.
Additional house rules
-Any gifted unit must be rehomed immediately to receiving city
-No gifting naval units (they can end up landlocked)
-Walls may not be sold and city may not be starved to nothingness in Objective (London, Berlin, Moscow), Secondary Objective (Ploesti, Port Said, Stalingrad), or Torpedo cities (Brest, Kiel)
-If you gift a unit and it magically transforms into a Wehrmacht Inf., and you get Axis tech. You may NOT use the items available because of the Axis tech and you may not research any of the Axis specific techs that follow.
Any other rules we should impose?
Axis week 2
Not much out of the ordinary for an Axis opener...
We continued our disciplinary action on the Polish forces that so brutally sneak-attacked us recently. Other than that, you know... a few planes flew training missions, a couple tanks here and there went out to knock a little rust off the tracks. A bunch of the boys decided to look into some real estate in the Low Countries its so nice there this time of year...
Since no one is playing the Indys or Neutrals, the Allies (SirDunco?) should be up next, right?

Dunco, I need techs and soon! I thought you already would have, but I guess I should have let you know. I've got the gold and the production to pump out a ton of fighters and bombers within a turn, but I don't have the techs!
Also, if Stalin is hoping on taking Vilna, do so by all means, but at least give me a turn to move my troops out of there so your tanks dont get damaged.
Also, I have a question about LazyCiv. I run the program while I do my turn, but the only way to close out its window is to hit the close box. Did doing that mess with the working of the program, or is it what you're supposed to do and there's no "done" button?

After I finished my turn I save and then exit LazyCiv. Works excellent.
There is indeed no done button.

I'll post my report tomorrow. But for now, here's the file.

We continued our response to Polands earlier attacks on Germany. We immediately noticed the citizens of several cities were so disgusted with their nations actions that they refused to fly the Polish flag (which looks remarkably similar to the French flag). Krakow, Warsaw, Danzig and Katowice were placed under German protection. We apparently caught the Polish military by surprise as much of it seemed to be wandering about the countryside rather than defending their country. (You emptied Krakow and Lublin?) A couple infantry units had been demolishing their own factories and roads, but we were able to stop them before they could harm the Polish people any more. In all, four separate militia divisions were found in the wilderness, but since they would not surrender their arms they had to be destroyed
A few troops traveled north to visit Esbjerg.
Zurich was freed from the tyranny of its corrupt bankers.
While on holiday in Brussels, some of our military leaders heard that the French (and under the direction of the French, the Polish) have been ordering entire populations of cities to stop all productive work and collect taxes to pay for the extravagances of their corrupt government officials. Some cities were entirely dedicated to the entertainment (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Say no more!) of these French officials. Meanwhile the populace was under such unrealistic burden that some cities were forced to tear down their own housing to pay the unreasonable taxes of their government. Germany believes this corruption must be stopped at all costs.
To that end, we attempted to liberate Strasbourg, but the French militia burned the entire city while we attempted to enter. Dunkirk and Reims were liberated. Some of the French militia units were found destroying their own countryside. We attempted to apprehend these vandals, but they opened fire on us, so we were forced to fight them. We had no choice but to eliminate two such divisions near Lyons and two to the West of Reims.
The British appear to be complicit in this cruelty being perpetrated by the French. A Wellington squadron was spotted approaching our troops enjoying the sights in Rotterdam. One group of fighter pilots bravely set out to protect their fellow soldiers and shot down the oncoming bombers. A U-boat captain found a British capital ship sitting almost right on top of him in the Eastern Mediterranean. He struck the ship with torpedoes and sunk it. He then proceeded on his assigned mission near the Nile delta where he found another capital ship. He was able to hit the ship with torpedos, but it appeared to continue limping on its way. Wolfgang Peterson caught the whole encounter on film.

sorry, but my Civ2 has been experiencing problems!! I still don't know what it is. I try to open the save file for the game and then it just says illegal opperation everytime. I'll try something and well hope i'll have it done by the end of today!

Ok my Civ2 is working now, but there is a problem with Tims save...Look everytime i load it up, i do the usual choose allies...ect..ect.. then when it loads up it says end of turn press enter...then the computer takes the turns of everyone and I (allies) end up playing the 6th week.How the hell is this possible?! I should be playing the 4th week right after the Axis, controling the allies! Ummm...Tim or someone else, can you tell me,as soon as possible, what the heck is going on?
Darius
Smith, Wesson, and me
I can't make any sense out of that. Hmmm...
I loaded Tim's savegame and chose the allies and it worked just fine. The first unit to flash for orders was a captial ship in the north sea, and all the other units still had movement values. Are you sure you did all the PBEM procedures right?
On a completely different subject, I thought I'd mention that looking at your screen it's obvious you forgot to Ctrl-N last turn, since a whole bunch of units are stuck off of roads with GoTo orders on their shields.
In case you're new to PBEM's (don't know if you are but there seem to be a few problems), here's a good guide:

I think if you do "load a saved game" from the first menu then choose a .Net game, instead of "multiplayer game/Network/tcp ip/Load a saved network game" (or something like that) it will asssume you are in single player mode and will start with the first player (soviets) on the next turn (week 6) instead of whomever left off (axis-week4). That could be your problem.

Ok after sime time i finnaly have done it.
Week Report:
WE have met with the French emissary. After a few transactions we have given them our seecrets of flight and other technology. We have also assisted in military aide.
We then met with the Soviets who openly declared support for us. We also exchenged tecnology secrets...
We have been watching the sittuation on the Continent closely and it doesn't look good for us. Our fighters have shot down a Mettershimit squadron who was resonsible for the death of the 56th Wellington squadron. We are continuint our offensive in africe if the Pairlament likes it or not.
From the coast of Norfolk Virgina, US we have spotted a u-boat. Our fighters managed to sink it and with it all of the torpedoes aboard.
Here ends week 4.
