[Defcon] Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

I picked this up on a whim after hearing good things about it and having a bit of extra cash. Holy shit, this game is awesome.

This is simulated thermonuclear war. You take control of a group of countries and you nuke other countries back to the stone age, before they bomb you. This game isn't about winning, its about losing the least.

Any tips on how not to suck at this would be nice too, since I've been the victim of several genocides while trying to play against the computer.

    You just found out about Defcon?

    It's a good thread title, at the very least.

    Oh man, dare I fire up steam when I get home?
    I have so many minis to build for my game this weekend, but the idea of forming a bunch of alliances and then betraying them once the nukes start to fly is appealing.

    I bought this back when it first came out, but have not played it in such a long time.

    The music for the game is so atmospheric and creepy too. I think I am going to play it again soon. hot damn.
