Cool. I’ve made a game, with random sides (not bidding). If I’ve set it up wrong let me know and we can reset. Happy Christmas!
Just been two days away from the page with all that was going on. @qwertysoldier just added you.

No rush. Just had a moment last night so I made the game.

I am confident I can make it to turn 3.
(Spoilers. I’m currently on card 3 of turn 2.)

I forgot how much noise the TS app makes… I don’t advise opening it near to one’s sleeping spouse…

I very rarely have my phone volume above zero, but yes, once or twice it has surprised me on the train commute.

Is that a subtle way of saying it’s my turn? 
I am happy to say we have our first result of the tournament.
I was happy with exactly one card play I did all game, which @Benkyo will undoubtedly tell me was terrible.

I would like to add that RossM asked for feedback before our game, and I don’t trash other people’s play just for kicks.
(I’ll review the game sometime tomorrow)

Absolutely.
Random observations from my side about this game/ game in general.
I hate decolonisation. In this game it was used really effectively for the USSR in North Africa to gain access into France. That’s a route I’ve never thought about before.
My brain cannot understand that their isn’t a link between Libya and Saharan States. Silly Border.
This is probably the first time I’ve ignored the U.K. which is probably a good thing, I mean it’s not a battleground and I’ve probably only ever looked to retain it because I live there.
Losing an initial coup in Iran really messes you up for getting into Asia.

I wanted to make a joke yesterday that Benkyo would be our Beth Harmon (from the Netflix-show The Queen’s Gambit), but it might come closer to reality than I thought!
The standings have been updated and Benkyo takes the top spot from @DJCT!

Gee that didn’t last long. @RossM after the Ghost ship I expected you to continue to facilitate my Christmas winning streak a bit longer …

UK is only good for Special Relationship once NATO is active. I would be more tempted with Canada for NORAD.

This is definitely more of a problem in the digital game than physical. If it helps, note that links between regions are red dotted lines, not solid brown lines.
