DESCRIPTION
Mattias ended up as the winner after an offensive game strategy, and using quite some dice rolling skills, where there were many potential winners in the last round. Only Mattias and Linus got to do some heavy battling in this game, the others were defensively building up their forces and waited for the right time to strike - but waited a wee bit too long as it turned out.
Linus started in Sosaria, but for the first time during this campaign, he was attacked in Sosaria the first turn by no other than Mattias. However, after losing the HQ, Linus managed to hang on to the eastern continent for some turn, until finally he was removed and starting again in Japan.
Richard started slow in Europe, using many troops to conquer the major and minor cities in western and southern europe. An attack from Andreas, made Richard throw in all his missiles to not loose the territory. After that, Richard was on the defensive, building up his forces and collecting resource cards. However, the game ended right before he could make use of them cards (29 reinforcements unused), due to an attack estimated by the attacker to a 10% success rate - which naturally succeeded.
Andreas built up some heavy defences in fortified Brazil. There were some battles for resource cards between Andreas and Richard in the Middle East. However, the game was lost before Andreas had a chance to try a winning move.
Jon started in USA, using his Khan powers to grow rapidly. He had by far the largest forces, but not so many resource cards, since he used peaceful means to grow. In the last turns, he advanced into Scandinavia for a resource card, and claimed the Enclave HQ of China, but halted the advance and the game ended before he got the chance to use the full force of his armies.
Mattias once again showed how successful it is to play aggressively. This time, he attacked Linus in Sosaria. He traded 4 resource cards in the third time, having started with two at the beginning, and a couple of turns later, he realized Richard was going to win on his next turn, so he managed to raise enough troops to recapture his HQ in China, and take the fortified HQ in Europe, winning the game.
