Yes. "Keep 'em guessing" and all that.

Team USA has elected to play the "Formosan Resolution" card for the OPs points (2) and have placed BOTH in South Korea.  This gives the USA CONTROL of South Korea.  Team USSR remains DOMINANT in the ASIAN region however:




The "Formosan Resolution" Event was NOT triggered and so that card will be shuffled back in to the deck.

The complete map can be seen at http://www.garykrockover.com/TS/Twilight_Struggle_Map.jpg (to save space on my web server, I am just going to use this same filename for the map from now on, so whenever that link is clicked, the most current version of the map will be displayed).

Team USSR is on the clock for Round 5 of Turn 1.

[GJK]

Gentlemen, this is your hand going in to Round 5 of Turn 1.  That is the "China Card" that is inverted and thus unplayable at this time.

OK, it's time to score Asia. They've just managed to cost us 1 VP, so good for them. We need to score Asia and then play Five Year Plan in the final round.

All agreed? Asia Score card next?

[Ubercat]

I just realized that we're one round ahead of where we should be. The round 1 thread should have been titled "headline", as the first card we play each turn is the headliner, and not technically a round. This thread should be the round 5 thread, as six is the final round and we still have one card play after this one. Make sense? If it doesn't, check the action round track on the map. It shows that there should only be 6 action rounds for the first 3 turns and then 7 thereafter.

Score Asia, Da.

This is correct; we've just entered Round 5.

So Asia Scoring for this round for you guys?

[BanzaiCat]

Yes sir, that's our move.

[GJK]

Cool - I'll work up the round when I get home later.

[undercovergeek]

thanks GJK - only just saw this - hope you had a good new year, and thanks for your continued help playing this game - almost ready for a real life board game purchase and some vassal for this

[undercovergeek]

bring it on motherbiatches

[Staggerwing]

Yes, thanks indeed Gary. Trying to keep us all on track must be a real PITA ( :D ) so your help is much appreciated.

[GJK]

Happy New Years to you guys as well and thanks; I'm enjoying this as much as you all are.  TS is a solid game with lots of decision making.  Plus it's easy to teach and play.  Def. pick up a copy if you think that you might have somebody that would be interested in playing it with you.
