I've attached a patch which implements what I think the correct formula
is.  It's just a guess, though.

You'd have to have at least one extra variable in the unit struct, for
attacks_left (we currently have only moves_left).  Plus you'd need a
way to display both numbers to the user.  Civ2 has nothing like this --
and I don't think it's very useful, but if you really want to code it
up as a new option, go ahead. :-)
