DESCRIPTION
A rather long game, where rather many high resource cards where out, but where mostly cashed in early for well needed enforcements. We started in putting weaknesses scards out, Jon a not so bad one on himself, and Linus a pretty nasty one on Mattias, and Mattias a very evil one on Andreas. THe mutants and saharan forces were lucky enough to avoid any weaknesses, hopefully it will allow them to be more successful in the future wars.
Both Linus and Mattias started in Europe, fighting over the World capital. Mattias hade the largest population fo several turn over the game, until it was Richards turn, but didn't get any event-triggered reinforcements. He succeeded in cashing in 4 coins for a VP (since European resource cards where scarce in the beginning of the game). Eventually it looked like Linus would come out the winner since Mattias was very thinly spread, and with a decent amount of cards on his hands. However, Jon the Bearleader of the Enclave swept in and removed Linus from Europe, taking his HQ and cards in the process. Linus redeployed in one of the few areas left in Nordkorea, however was easily eliminated by the Imperial forces of Andreas'. Mattias was eliminated during the end turn, as Richard took his HQ and attacked sealines during his winning move.
Richard introduced the Alien race in the safety of the bunkers of Peru. He immediately got both the Sosarian Bear Enclave, and the Balkanian forces from Nordkorea against him. Enclave conquered both Sosaria and the Alien Island and moved into Venezuela to crush the alien race. However, they were stopped by the overwhelming technology of the Aliens, and driven back in panic into Australia. Now it was Imperial Balkania's turn to sweep down to crush the invaders. However, the first wave of Imperials were caught in the death ray that destroyed the city of Venezuela and left it a smoldering ruin. The second wave, mostly compromised of rear guards nad militia sweeped down to the ruins, but they were also crushed by the alien forces, who struck a deal with the still panicking Enclaves, not to travel between the Alien Island and Central America, and moved into Nordkorea against the now weakened Imperial forces. Richard, having deployed many troops due to event cards and bonuses, could now focus on defence and collecting resources and plan ahead for a final attack. However, due to riots the Aliens lost control of 3 major cities and their HQ was demolished as well. The next turn, Richard managed to conquer 3 HQ's, but that wasn't enough since he had lost his own. The HQ of Imperial Balkania managed to stop the Alien invaders, preventing them from winning. However, the next turn the Enclave cashed in their resources for a large attack on Andreas, targeting his resource cards (and the private mission). He succeeded, eliminating Andreas in the process, but didn't manage to take any other HQs except from the purple one in Western USA. However, he had once again a large set of resources in his hand... if only the game would last one more round.
Mattias managed to take back the Scandinavian Red HQ, but Richard could launch an attack, taking back that HQ, and succeeding in the amphibious assault mission, claiming his 4th VP, and 4th total win (while still having 2 2 unused missiles left). And also eliminated Mattias, making it possible for the Khan to finally claim their Come-back power (Well-Supplied was chosen).
