02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: The current division of Germany seems a bit wrong... |
02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: I see what you mean :) |
02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: I was so focussed on defending west Germany I completely forgot about the east... |
02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: I feel like my chances of still winning this are rather slim, but I'll try for a few more turns anyways. I'm sure the opposition is at fault for the losses... |
02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: I do feel like NATO has something of an advantage on this map, but for a while it did felt like you had the upper hand, especially with some of the aggressiveness in Europe. |
02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: And if it goes wrong, you can always blame someone else... |
02 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: I only played this once, as NATO, and winning felt rather easy. It's quite interesting because actually, the map is very close to being symmetric, but I think the balance is sometimes slightly skewed towards NATO (at least it seems like that, but the statistics say that NATO is only marginally better than the USSR). Cuba and Australia are very similar because they both are "behind enemy lines", but it at least feels like Cuba is more often the target of enemy agression because it's more centered on the map. Also, I have convicted a few traitors in a big trial and they are scheduled to be executed whenever we need to raise the People's morale... |
03 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: There again though, the neutrals that Australia can contest are greater than the ones Cuba can contest. And don't you dare shoot down any of my spy planes and put the pilot on trial. |
03 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: Well, as long as your spy planes don't fly over Cuba and notice all the missiles I have deployed there, I don't see a reason to shoot them down. |
03 Dec 16 UTC | Autumn, 1962: However, I don't really see a way for me to hold Cuba for much longer, so I think I'll have to destroy that unit anyways... |
03 Dec 16 UTC | Spring, 1963: I guess I have changed my mind within seconds and will leave the fleet in Panama. I just cannot stand giving up the entirety of the western hemisphere... |
05 Dec 16 UTC | GameMaster: USSR voted for a Extend. If 2/3 of the active players vote Extend the the current phase will be extend by 4 days. Please consider backing this. If the majority is not reached by "Autumn, 1964" the votes will be cleared. |
06 Dec 16 UTC | GameMaster: Per 2/3 majority vote the gamephase got extended by 4 days. (Voters: NATO / USSR) |
06 Dec 16 UTC | Thanks for the extend. I meant to do it then completely forgot. Whoops. |
06 Dec 16 UTC | Well, I too was rather busy yesterday, so I needed it, too... |
08 Dec 16 UTC | Shall we just call it a draw? |
08 Dec 16 UTC | We could do that, but I think you could easily win this... Depends on whether you want to continue, I've finished most of my exams, so I should have time, theoretically... |
10 Dec 16 UTC | Oh wow, was not expecting it that soon. |
10 Dec 16 UTC | Neither was I. Congratulations! |
