Once again, guys, this wait's on me.
Well, actually on VASSAL!;)
I will need the weekend to fix it, since tomorrow, I'm going out for my B-day.
Should be interesting fixing the game.
The mod is so well made but so automated that, when something goes wrong, it's trouble.
I'll keep you in the loop.
The People’s Republic of China played a pivotal role during the Cold War. While the PRC’s influence was largely limited to satellites in Asia, the country was important to the uneasy balance of power that ultimately descended upon the post-WWII world. While beginning as an ally of the USSR, China became a counter-balance to Soviet influence in Asia during the later stages of the Cold War.
*** Soviet initiates coup in Venezuela with 3 Ops.
* Soviet changes DefCon to 2.
* No coups or realignments in MiddleEast.
* Soviet Die = [4] *** <Soviet>
* Soviet changes Soviet Military Ops to 3.
* Removing 2 American Influence from Venezuela.
* Adding 1 Soviet Influence in Venezuela.
Map:
* US player may add 1 Influence to any country already containing US Influence (NORAD).
yeah, I guess there is no tactful way of saying this, but I capitulate. I stare at the game board and I stare at the cards, go away, and comeback and do it again, and I am not seeing the fun in it anymore. I like the premise and theme of this game, but it just feels like literally the game is decided on the hands you are dealt and there is no wiggle room to get out from it if you had two or three bad hands in a row.
im sure the others are frothing to nail me after my win with MEQ, but it will have to be in another game.

AMERICA - FUCK YEAH!
That's a tough hand, no doubt, but I think the Soviet overlord may have over-reacted. Personally, I would have toughed it out - with all the good American cards out, next Turn would have been fun times for Communism. Still, the most important thing is to have fun, and if that's not happening then it is definitely better to walk away.
I would have preferred to grind the Soviets beneath our heel like the cockroaches they are, but will happily accept their full and unconditional surrender instead.
Thanks for running this, stever - that's two in a row for me!

Not bragging here but I never give up a game, even if I'm dead last & have no hope.
I like to see what may happen, with myself & the others.
Maybe I'm just stubborn or dumb...
(No agreeing with this comment plz!)
BTW, next Twilight Struggle game will be the super-stever experimental game we've all heard so much about in the news.
May even address BEN's problems with the game, in a way.
What could it be??? (Besides amazing!)
:?:
yea, I wish I could have given iron weasel a proper fight, but like I said, I'd look at the cards and then go do something else. its still a victory for.him, but this way, I didn't just hand over an empty one I was just going through the motions for.
I tip my hat to you iron weasel, I'm sure we will cross paths again.

I must give credit where it's due: Void Slayer master-minded much of our early game strategy and helped keep the Soviets from getting too far ahead. A grateful nation salutes, you, @Void Slayer
