Just as in real life, the Cold War took many years to play out....
Here is the Headline phase for Turn 2 card selections by the teams.

The full map can be seen http://www.garykrockover.com/TS/Twilight_Struggle_Map.jpg

Good luck in Turn 2 gentlemen

I figure that we may have to *ease* back in to it. This game could last quite a while but I'll stick with it. :)

Folks, here's your hand as it stands now after the Headline Phase:

I need to go browse the rules again (lol!) but I believe that the Soviets are on the clock for their first choice in Round 1.

Ok you communist hoardes...here is your hand as it stands after the Headline Phase. You guys are on the clock (tho' it ticks very slowly obviously) for your selection for Round 1 of Turn 2.

Looks like I picked a decent time to pop my head back around these forums...thanks, GJK!

I've been MIA off and on for the last several months myself, GJK. I'm up for it if my fellow comrades are, and the capitalist rats are as well. Unless they wish to give up and allow paving over of homes for glorious Soviet state.

I'd like to continue though I'll need a little bit of time to get back up to speed. I JUST 2 days ago put my TS cards away, too!

GJK · May 10, 2014, 10:28:49 AM

We can just ease back in to it...if everybody is wanting to do so. ;)

I'm in! Welcome back Gary and Banzi!

That capitalist headline is a real bastard play! >:(

Barthheart · May 10, 2014, 03:08:06 PM

Looks like we have a great hand for scoring more points this round.

How to start so as to not tip off the Yankee Doodles....?

But it's what we were expecting, which is why we played an almost throw away card. Imagine if we'd lost Suez Crisis!

Ubercat · May 12, 2014, 10:31:42 AM

I'd love to take Israel away from them with Arab Israeli War but we'd need to roll a 6 to win. I think we should hit them with Suez Crisis and remove 2 IP each from Israel and the UK.

Barthheart · May 12, 2014, 11:22:20 AM

Yep, I agree. It should keep them in the dark about our other cards and helps with both our scoring cards.

BanzaiCat · May 13, 2014, 07:54:40 AM

Agreed!

Since everybody seems to be in agreement on this play, I will work it up and post it tonight.
