Triumph of Chaos, an AAR

[Ed Anger]

Your collective lack of appreciation has been noted. 

Pics or it didn't happen.

Ass.

Only thing better would be to borrow a mushroom cloud counter from another game and pretend his astroglide got vaporized.

Turn 2 should become much more interesting as WHITE will be able to activate the Czech Legion, and perhaps have a chance at saving the Tsar.  I'm killing him as soon as I can.

Where does the Tsar start?

His presence is felt on the Turn Track starting in Turn 2.  I have to kill him, or he's a Replacement Step bonus for WHITE.

Well now the Ravens are victorious how fairs the revolution?

Sounds like you both went with some fairly unconventional moves.  Not that that's a bad thing, mind you--dicking around can be a lot of fun.

I won't comment too much on the strategy for fear of tipping things, but if you still hold Magnitogorsk and Tsaritsyn at the end of the first turn, you've done pretty well for yourself as the Reds.

We were both so exhausted from the Ravens game, we called it a day.  Both dozed off in the BG-Ariz 3rd quarter, for Chrissakes.
Although, next weekend is a holiday weekend (thank you, Dr. King!), so we're going to put some major time in.

I was surprised that he wasn't as aggressive with at least moving units--so I didn't feel compelled to counter at this time--but in this assymetrical conflict, I chalk his conservatism up to my opponent's military indoctrination.  He'd feel more comfortable with panzers, breakouts and exploitations in depth.

It's obvious he wants to try to save the Tsar;  I personally never saw the long range benefit of it, even with early RS bonuses.

 I will follow this with interest.

I shall be the anti-lettow woof!

More because the odds of CdM actually updating this before summer are astronomical.

Oh, hush you.

You reckon the collapse of the game before turn 2 will be blamed on something new, or will it be the old "round up the usual suspects?"

Nice AAR there, never played it but I always thought it looked really good when someone else did.

Triumph of Chrome is a lot of fun.
