Play lone gunmen for the event?
Sounds good.
The hand of our opponent.
Shall we spend the 1 to protect Poland from the pope?
Bloomingā Pope!
I mean, according to the map we have 7 Influence in Poland, right? So if he plays that as an event, weāll still have it 5 - 1, meaning heād need to spend 4 to break our control of it. Do we think heāll bother with that?
Not sure about that, but it lets him play solidarity which adds three influence in Poland.
Where else would we pop the 1 influence?
Bumping the question as I got sidetracked by Station fall
Letās just do Poland then. I donāt have the cards memorized so I did not remember Solidarity.
Ok. Heās spaced socialist governments. Heās up to Man in space now and another 2vp.
What next?
Shall we send bear trap to space?
Sounds good
Oops. Already spaced.
Two turns left.
I say South African unrest for influence followed by nuclear subs
Okay, where at? Finish controlling Czechoslovakia? Break his control of a battleground country?
Brazil? As a suggestion
Letās do it.
Ben plays Cambridge 5 to repair Brazil and adds one to Uruguay
Nuclear subs for 2 influence. Again in Brazil?
It does kind of force his hand, so sure.
I think we are ahead in Battlegrounds, so we could lead with Kitchen Debates if we want to just dump it. Alternately, there is Red Scare if we want to lower his effectiveness this round.
Yeah, Red scare/purge is the optimal isnāt it. Playing that
