Twilight Struggle - ITSL 2023/24 - vs u/Thoxic

Interesting T1 here...not sure if anything else was but lemme know lololol! You can see Thoxic's side at • Twilight Struggle ITSL... !

(and then spread into SE Asia after the counter-coup, that was my point :)

Turn 2 I would have played blockade and held FYP. You knew he didn’t have Europe which means there is a 50/50 chance you draw it, and then of course you can easily pitch it. That being said, with as many 4 op cards as he was drawing, it may have been a moot point anyways.

Thanks Rich! Frantzypants said the same in Twitch chat and it's a fair line. Think I was nervous as CIA was also still in the deck and being stuck with 5YP and CIA would have been rouuuuuuuuuuuuuugh XD

I think T1 was misplayed, you had the potential to get both dominations and you didn’t get either - I was hoping for Nasser HL and NTB into Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan. I agree holding FYP would have been better going into T3 to toss one of the bad scorings especially since we know Europe is coming

Thanks for that line! I fail to use ops in that way T1AR1 to be honest so didn't even countenance it lol. It's a great thought though!
The 5YP I agree in principle but again with CIA still in the deck it's super risky...
