Turn 1, Round 2 - Team USA

Team USA has opted to play the card "Red Scare/Purge" for the Operations Points (4). They opt to place 2 IP's in Saudi Arabia and 2 IP's in Lebanon.

This card's event is NOT triggered since it is a neutral card. Thus, it will be shuffled back in to the deck.

The full map as it stands now can be seen here: http://www.garykrockover.com/TS/T1_R2_USA_Map.jpg

This concludes Round 2 of Turn 1. Next up is Round 3 of Turn 1 in which Team USSR is due up for play.

GJK · December 11, 2013, 08:20:06 PM

Turn 1, Round 2 play for Team USA is posted. Team USSR is on the clock.

Well...that was special. I'm still not utterly convinced they have the ME card, but they sure went for broke on that one.

Gary,

Would you mind posting our hand to this thread? Thank you in advance, sir.

I have definitely changed my vote to playing Blockade for the event rather than Ops. If the Americans are hording a 4 Ops card, that would explain their latest play in the ME. 4 Ops would enable them to take Israel AND Saudi Arabia. They would grab domination and then score the ME for 3 VP. If we play Blockade, they have to discard their 4 Op card and their plan would be screwed up unless they happen to have another 4 Op card. That's unlikely as there are only 3 other 4 Op cards that we haven't seen yet. Then we STILL have time to get a lot of VP in Asia this turn.

We throw them off their schedule at the very least, or maybe kick them out of W. Germany. So, my vote for our next card play is Blockade for the event, which probably matches Banzai_Cat's.
