Shall we spend the 1 to protect Poland from the pope?

Blooming’ Pope!

I mean, according to the map we have 7 Influence in Poland, right? So if he plays that as an event, we’ll still have it 5 - 1, meaning he’d need to spend 4 to break our control of it. Do we think he’ll 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

Let’s just do Poland then. I don’t have the cards memorized so I did not remember Solidarity.

Ok. He’s spaced socialist governments. He’s 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

Let’s 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.

And Brazil is repaired.

We made it to turn 5!

What a terrible hand!

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 isn’t it. Playing that
