Coup roll: 1
Formosan Resolution, Iran to 2/0, Afghanistan to 1/0
Do we want to desalinisation this turn?
Just what you need against Ben, a comically bad roll.
Whatās DEFCON, 3? If we DeStalinize before DEFCON 2 then he can coup us and we lose the advantage.
Weād be better off couping in Iraq imo
Oh, Gosh, I was supposed to be following this. Sorry!!
Middle East sounds great, but is it worth it since the score card has been played already? By playing there you are announcing you have no score cards, isnāt it better to go elsewhere (Panama?) and make him think we have a score card he needs to worry about?
Defcon is 4.
So where do we want to coup and with what card?
Current hand.
I say we destabilisation now, into Chile, South Africa and India. The last turn was a washout we couped he restored it.
Letās give him three headaches.

Nice easy one.
Marshall plan
2 influence to gain control of India.
2 influence into South Korea, so we can lock it off next turn

Marshall distribution as pictured: Canada, UK, France, W. Germany, Spain, Greece, Turkey
Nasser for event, coup Egypt, roll 5.
Thoughts?
Play Warsaw pact for influence.
1 in South Korea and 2 in Iraq to claim both battlegrounds?
That sounds good

Greetingsā¦ I popped into this forum as I enjoy the Whartson Hall podcastā¦ and stumbled across this. I happen to be a friend of Benāsā¦ (I taught him how to play TS in fact though Iām rather out of practice as I dislike online play) so I wonāt intervene after this. However I canāt help but notice that you have CIA and 5 Year Plan in hand and have used the China Cardā¦ which means that you are putting yourself in a potentially game losing situation if DEFCON goes to 2.

Hey @Mantis43 !
Here are my thoughts.
We play Korean War this turn for influence next turn we play
5 year plan
Or
Space 5 year plan if weāre at defcon 2
Itās better if we can defuse them safely to get them out of the game.
I canāt remember if itās safe to headline CIA in turn 2. Thereās a risk if he co headlines Olympic Games but has he got other DEFCON lowering options heād play?
Ben knows the deck though. I imagine he could guess weāve got one or both of CIA or 5YP because heās now got the China Card.
What is DEFCON currently?
