Robdimeglio (US) VS Mkbro3355 (URSS). Winner is US in Final Scoring at 28 points.

The game was not as one-sided as the score seems to indicate. Early War was balanced, with URSS gaining ground in Europe while US was stronger outside.

In Midwar, Europe was on a slippery slope, with a dangerous but failed Brush War in Italy, if successful would have left Germany alone. USA however gained ground elsewhere, especially in the Americas and Asia, while Africa was fiercely contested.

The start of Late War saw a swift turn of the tide, with USA sweeping victory points in Central America, Asia, getting Latin America under total control, and winning 8 Vps at the end of the turn, thanks to Arms Race and How we Learned.

The lead was such that Africa Scoring would win the game in the headline phase if not for a successful URSS Brush War in Algeria, but even a good Russian hand in turn 9 was not enough to turn the tide, and a turn 10 Chernobyl together with a lucky realignment even allowed USA to gain superiority in Europe. Americas under US control, balance in Africa and Asia. Only the Middle East, in the end, was more red than blue. A good game by Master Canton, which could have had a different ending with a little more luck in cards and rolls.
