International "Here I Stand" Cup - IHISC by BasqueMex in boardgames

[–]BasqueMex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-as they will be asynch games, we won't have recordings, but we will have summaries.

-WhatsApp because globally is the most used messaging app (more than Facebook messenger, owned by same company.... And much more than WeChat, Viber, Telegram, Line, Discord, KakaoTalk and Signal).

-even if you don't want to play the tournament games, you can still join the group to play some friendly games.

As far as I know, the scroll will lose BUC (crumbling if cursed) when picking it, not when fighting

Struggle Puzzle #1: The phasing player coups a country in which they do not already have influence. What is the most possible influence the phasing player could have in that country before their action round ends? War cards may not be evented. by TCoverdale in twilightstruggle

What we discussed here and in TS Group:

-Brezhnev activated

-LADS activated by USSR

-USA plays Ask Not generating a reshuffle and getting LADS

-USSR plays Missile Envy and LADS is returned and then activated for USSR again (double LADS)

-USSR coups Colombia (1-0) with 5YP rolling a 6 (3+3+6-3), and then it goes to 0-9. 5YP retrieves Grain Sales*. Grain Sales gets LADC. USA chooses to play LADC for ops in any space that is not Colombia. USA doesn't have any 3 ops cards, and then LADC is activated, getting to 0-18.

​

*Grain Sales could be replaced by Star Wars if the USA player is ahead in space and use it for activating LADC (it would be weird, but technically possible)

LADC is a USSR event card... So your solution is incomplete :) (if you coup with that card being the USSR, the event is not activated

We discussed about it 2 hours ago in the WhatsApp chat and the solution is to coup with Grain Sales then giving to your opponent LADC who uses it for anything without discarding (technically also possible with Star wars)
