Twilight Struggle ITSL - A Very Merry Battle for Colombia (vs Sblindo8)

[@user-fg5fs5ym6q]

gg welcome back. TS like many games and sports has a luck element. Just part of the fun and frustration, whether losing a poker hand to a river card or having a soccer shot hit the goalpost. Your mental approach to this game kept you making good decisions instead of going on tilt after a couple 1’s. 💪

Those multiple coups in Columbia ! When you popped out briefly, was it for a line... ? ;)

[@aunthemod]

29:30 Now that Columbia has been emptied out and Defcon is at 2, I kinda like prioritizing the coup of Cameroon with Defectors before eventing Unrest, since he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to overprotect Angola

[@Frantzypantz]

I definitely considered it

[@richmartin1427]

Wow, good playing by you and some obvious misplays on his part. One thought I had though. At the end of turn two you play 5YP to get rid of Truman. Since you know Middle East was going to be drawn turn three and he had dom there, why not hold 5YP in case you draw Middle East turn three so you can ditch it? Of course as it turned out you redrew 5YP anyways and he drew Middle East. But it was a play I was curious about.

[@Frantzypantz]

Yes, it's 50/50 on me drawing Middle East. It was a viable option, but I was also hoping that by emptying my hand I would have a better chance of redrawing Decol or Destal... sadly, that didn't pan out.
