Finally managed to win as the USSR! 🐻 Also 1st time winning by Held Scoring Cards, never seen the AI player do that 🤖 Also noticed how great an asset the Flower Power card is for the Soviet side, basically a farm of victory points! 🏆

also, i typically only use influence and coups but this time i even used alignment rolls at some point for my first time ever! 🤯

1st time winning as the US with the AI opponent set at the maximum +10 influence handicap 🤖 Started out tough but the game decisively turned in my favour when the USSR played the Bear Trap card near the end of Turn 7 🐻 That bought me enough time to take control in Turn 8! 💪🏾

AI opponent (USSR) set at a +10 influence handicap 🤖 such a humbling loss delivered so early in the game 🤦🏾‍♂️

Kids today are obviously spending ever-increasing amounts of time playing video games and participating in the social ecosystem around that e.g. streaming, Discord, etc. Whether that is a good thing or not, video games are sucking up all the energy the real world is stymieing.
What are the 'kids' up to these days? Nothing it seems.
"games allow your customer engagement efforts to scale quickly and globally, and to reach millions of consumers through a dedicated touchpoint that you can shape to represent your brand and align with your goals. no other channel, not even social media, offers this."

About to re-try "Battle for Mosul" by @Fight_Club_Intl 🎲 A solitaire tactical wargame depicting the fight to liberate Iraq's second largest city from ISIS in 2016/17 🇮🇶 🔗: fightclubinternational.org/b…
also just realized that i have been breaking this rule the whole time: "up to three ISF counters can stack in a map zone at the end of their movement" 🤦🏾‍♂️

i have played this game thrice so far and not once have i managed to not kill civilians with my air/drone/artillery strikes 🤦🏾‍♂️

no better way to spend a sunday afternoon than watching a kissinger mini-doc and then immediately diving into a hall-of-fame cold war wargame at full difficulty ☢️

1st time winning as the USSR with the AI opponent set at +10 influence handicap 🤖 2nd time winning by Held Scoring Cards, the 1st time was actually my very first win as the USSR! 🐻 Once again, securing Europe early in the game with a coup in Italy later paid off big time! 🏆
