PART 6
TURN 2, ROUND 6, USSR
FINAL ROUND FOR TURN 2
And let’s see what Red-influenced hits keep on a-rollin’…
He plays this card for its Event, giving him Control of Romania.
PART 5
TURN 2, ROUND 5, USSR
Here we go…there are two more Action Rounds left in this second Turn. Let’s see what Moscow decides on this time…
Of course the Communists would have one of the more powerful US cards in his hand. And of course he’d just blow it on the Space Race track, which of COURSE gives him +2 VP. That’s now +13 VP in favor of the bloody Russians.
PART 4
TURN 2, ROUND 4, USSR
The USSR plays TRUMAN DOCTRINE, and the game prompts me to remove Influence in one country. I’m not really sure this is a bad thing…obviously, he’s playing this for its whole 1 Op, and the Event has to fire…which makes me think he doesn’t have much in the way of cards.
PART 3
TURN 2, ROUND 3, USSR
In a dick move, the USSR player puts UN INTERVENTION out there, which means he can play another card and ignore the Event that would normally fire, if he played it solely for Ops. So that means a nice juicy US card is about to enter play.
PART 3
TURN 2, ROUND 2, USSR
(AUTHOR NOTE: I’m going to dispense with the TURN # ROUND # screenshots from here on, since it’s moot and already titled in the text.)
Looks like the USSR goes with ARAB-ISRALEI WAR for its 2 Ops, placing 1 Influence in Cameroon, Africa (gaining Control) and 1 Influence in Nicaragua (gaining Control there, too).
