Glad you're back Gary..... hope everything's cleared up.... I'm well versed in psycho ex girlfriend and psycho current girlfriend!

[undercovergeek]

Ha it worked..... woooohoooooo!

Yup, this one's going into space

Iran. Yes. Especially after Imperialist warmongering pig invasion into Syria.

We get 3 Ops from Five Year Plan. We absolutely must take Iran back. The way they keep mucking about in the ME makes me think that they have ME Scoring and plan to play it as their last card.. If we leave the ME as is and they score it, they'll get 3 VP's. If we take Iran first, they'll lose Domination and scoring the ME won't get them any VP's (or us).

Since we seem to be agreed on Iran, we need to decide how to spend the additional Op(s). I think we should put 2 IP into Iran to give it extra security and discourage couping on their part. Looking ahead to Europe scoring, I really think that a coup of Italy with a good card should be our first move in turn 2, if possible. It's a risk, but if it works we can get Domination in Europe. (Grabbing Italy also sets us up to get into France if no one plays the Degaulle card.) Couping Italy would also lower Defcon and make it impossible for them to coup in Europe.

Domination requires control of a non BG country, however, and we don't have one in Europe yet. I say that we put 2 IPs from 5YP into Iran and 1 into Finland. We'll be just 2 more Ops from controlling Finland and that's a country that would be very hard for them to ever take from us (Stability of 4).

That's my vote for our 3 Ops. 2 IP in Iran, 1 IP in Finland. We can have the lame event fire after we use the Ops.

I did not think about Finland. Good call. I'm with you on this one.

Coming up!

Gentlemen, which card will you be discarding as part of the 5-yr plan event?

[Ubercat]

Isn't it random?

[GJK]

Oh, duh.  I need to read the card better.  Ok, coming up.

Team USSR plays "Five Year Plan" for 3 Ops.  1 Op is placed in Finland and the other 2 Op's are placed in Iran.

The Middle East as it stands now:



The event for "Five Year Plan" is triggered and a card is randomly drawn from the Soviet hand and the Event triggers immediately:

* USSR must discard CIA Created*.

Team USA plays "CIA Created" which reveals the hand of Team USSR:



PLUS, Team USA is allowed to play 1 Op as if though they had just played the card for their round.  This is a "free" play.

So, on the clock is Team USA to play 1 Op for the end of the USSR Round 6 and then they will need to move on to their portion of Round 6 by selecting a card for play.

The full map as it stands now can be viewed at http://www.garykrockover.com/TS/Twilight_Struggle_Map.jpg
