GJK - are we going to play Tournament rules where we have to reveal our 'held' card from turn to turn to each other? Or is that just going to stay secret?

[GJK]

We can take a vote on that if we decide to, otherwise, I would just say stick to the standard rules (for this game at least).

[BanzaiCat]

Nah, not that important. I'm for keeping it basic.

We don't yet have Domination in Asia. Domination requires controlling more Battleground states than the opponent, AND at least 1 non-Battleground state. That's why we need to grab Afghanistan (or something else) along with as many BG states as we can.

We can probably go ahead and play Containment for Ops. (we currently can't space race more than 1 card a turn) We just have to make it one of our last card plays so the damage is minimized.

I've already given my vote for our next card play and it's the same as BC's. I'm going to look at the map and our remaining cards together and develop an opinion of of our optimal order for card plays this turn.

[Ubercat]

Yeah. Since we have a moderator there's definitely no need to show our hold cards. He knows we're all honest!

Arg, I thought I might miss something. Thanks for the clarification.

At first I thought you were saying to play Containment for OPS this Action Round. I was about to say, Comrade...

And now that I see your point about Afghanistan, the next AR we could do a card for OPS and put some influence in Afghanistan and Lebanon for some quick Controls. And hope we get the Vietnam Revolts card soon to spread our wonderful influence through those weak SE Asia nations.

We'll just need Comrade Barthheartovich's input now, and then we can give GJK our move.

Yeah - the question should be whether or not I'm trustworthy.  Muah ha ha!!!!  I AM THE ALL SEEING EYE!

Our outside fan base grows to one!  :)

Glad that you're enjoying following along platy.

I like your "Card/Event" context summaries, btw. It's a very nice touch!

[undercovergeek]

any thoughts?

I quite like the Vietnam Revolts card. It seems to me that it forces them to make actions in an area that we have decided not to include in our immediate plans (such as they are) and removes a red card from play. I may, of course, got that all tits-about-face!

LOL- I'm as much a babe in the woods as anyone here when it comes to this game so it all sounds good to me.  :D
