Private Prinny (USSR) over Zebracadabra (US)
GG!
Win by the totally OP Wargames card. I didn't know that card existed (noob) but seing the effect of it maybe skirting around Defcon 2 isnt that good of an idea after all.
I had an reasonably well start and was leading in the space race and points departments but felt that Zebracadabra more often than not got the real killer cards (Red Scare, 2*Grain Sales to Sovjets, Bear Trap, 2 Headline duds via defectors which really hurt as they were my best cards headlined). While I got aggrevating US Cards which destroyed my Dominance in South America or Shuttle Diplomacy etc...
He dominated the Middle East, Africa, and in the End Central America while seriously pushing Europe while I got an early Powerplayer Status in the Asia/SE Asia and South America.
My push for 20 points and premature decision did lose its steam in rounds 6-7 and eying the individual scores for each continent was not spelling nice things for final scoring but well....wargames.....want to play a nice game of chess, eh?
