i still think we're waiting for Gary

[JasonPratt]

I've never even played this game (having gotten out of boardgames long ago when I had to go to college), but I dearly love it and am registering to follow further play between the teams. :)

Message posted in your forums.  Turn out later today after clarification.  ;)

It looks like this was the last post GJK has made on Grogheads. Does anyone know if he's OK?

[Staggerwing]

Looks like he logged in at least once yesterday.

Hopefully all is well and he is just busy with an overabundence of routine RL stuff. If so, we can easily wait.

[BanzaiCat]

Yeah, probably RL stuff. The Americanskis are in no hurry to get buried.  ;D

[Staggerwing]

Is that a case of Coca Cola in the back of your Zil?

[GJK]

Guys - I'm sorry but I had to go AWOL there for a bit for some personal reasons involving a certain psycho ex-gf but we're all over that now.  :)

I'll catch up to where we were and process the round after I send this.

[BanzaiCat]

You and mirth run in the same circles, Gary? ;)

Just kidding. Glad all is good and hope she hasn't boiled any bunnies or anything.

[GJK]

[Staggerwing]

No worries Gary!


Psycho ex GF?

I think the bylaws here at GH say you have to have at least one PEGF in your past to be a member.

Ok folks, lots of shite stirring in this round.  Team USA has played the "Fidel" card for the OPs and have conducted a Coup in Syria.  The results are below:

*** American plays Fidel* for 2 Ops.
*** American initiates coup in Syria with 2 Ops.
* U.S. Die = [5] *** <American>
* American changes American Military Ops to 2.
* Removing 2 Soviet Influence from Syria.
* Adding 1 American Influence in Syria.

The Coup was successful:



After the OPs were played, the Event has triggered and Team USSR has taken control of Cuba:



Team US has gained some MilOPs points and the current standing of that is as such:



Team USSR is now on the clock for Round 6 of Turn 1; the final round of the turn.  Go blow up the world gentlemen.

[GJK]

Nice play on the COUP team US!  Here is your hand going in to round 6:

[GJK]

No worries Gary!

Mine was diagnosed and thus certified.  That "Twilight Struggle" is now over however and new one possibly begins today (date with someone new later today).  Jumpin' from one fryin' pan to the other, ain't I?  :O

[Staggerwing]

We need to launch that bad boy into orbit as soon as the KGB Kats have made their move. Hope it's not too painful for us as we don't have a lot of options.  :(

[Staggerwing]

Maybe it's like hot coals- if you keep stepping forwards then the burns are minimized...
