Habbaku has finally put me out of my misery.

[mkiefte]

mkiefte defeated Habakku.

[Tamas]

Berkut you didn't note my win against Nels :p

[sbr]

Nels (US) and I (USSR) just started our game. #189912

[sbr]

Nels (USSR) won by VP on T10.

gg Nels

[Solmyr]

Those were the fastest 10 turns I've ever seen.

[Berkut]

With VPs at USSR (Berkut) 18 at the end of Turn 7, sbr won by defcon 1.

I drew 3 defcon lowering cards. Could only get rid of 2 of them....

gg that was a fun one.

Outside of the whole DEFCON thing, what was your thoughts on the game at that point?  I know I was -18VP but every scoring region was in my favor and I felt pretty good about the game but I haven't gotten that late in a game very often so I wasn't sure if I was delusional or not.

[Berkut]

I was not feeling great - I think I would have need Wargames or some quick VP card to come up to win, or get lucky with rotating scoring where I can get a ergion to sort of square right before scoring...

[mkiefte]

Nels beat mkiefte by 5 VPs in final scoring.  He controlled Japan as the Soviets.

[Nels]

I don't know how I feel about that strategy. I had to bury the Japan card three times.

Helluva game. We have had several really great games, recently, thanks, Michael.

[Berkut]

Wow, that makes things really close. If I can get a win against mkiefte, then there will be several 3-2 finishers...

[Berkut]

On that note, mkiefte's US is up by 2VP at the end of turn 6....so it is a good game so far...

[mkiefte]

In fact, Nels controlled every battleground in Asia except Taiwan which was a Battleground for the US. It meant I couldn't play the China Card.
If I hadn't held the Asia Scoring Card in Turn 10, I would have won. I tried to break Domination of Asia, but Nels piled on the IPs.
