Hmph, when I was testing nw-europe changes, in one of the games the
AI gave up just as I reached Paris (I guess Rundstedt was in charge
that time :-) ).  No doubt running the saved game under the debugger
will unveil another quirk in the AI code...

Unless somebody else wants to look at it, might as well just send it
to me.  This is actually a good argument for a bug reporting system,
one could just add savefiles and screenshots there directly.
