Twilight Struggle PBF 2, public thread

Ben plays Puppet Governments:
1 to Nicaragua, Haiti, and Saudi Arabia

Saudi is worth keeping an eye on…

Next move?

I am still tempted to play Kitchen Debates to get rid of it while it will have no effect.

Do we want to try a 1 point coup in Haiti?

Sure, those do seem to be our best odds of winning.

Kitchen Debates does not trigger, goes to the discard.
Roll of 2, so Haiti is now empty. 1 MilOp.

US plays Cuban Missile Crisis for 2 OP coup of Zaire, roll of 2, so now 1/0. 2 MilOp, Defcon 2.

Can we play Willi Brandt for the event?

I am fine with that.

Although it can be wiped out with Truman. Hmm.

Play Truman first and grab Haiti?

If we play Truman, we will most likely lose all our presence in Romania, which will give him control of it. Not sure I like that, either.

Ok. What about salt negotiations as influence into west Germany.

That could be good. We definitely need to break his domination of Europe, as I think it would win the game for him if the scoring card came up now.

So, Dominance broken in West Germany with Salt and Willy Brandt, but lost footing in central and south America.

What next?
