    • RE: [East & West by Imp Games] Soviet strategy playtest

      Doesn’t look good for the Soviets; NATO marines are on Moscow’s doorstep, and the Red Army isn’t sustaining any gains anywhere.

      If the offensive into southeast Asia is successful (starting turn 4 at the earliest) and the USSR can develop Ballistic Missiles, they may yet pull out a victory. But NATO is cashing out high every turn, and that’s bad news…

      Wow. Those are some BS defense dice.

      P.S. please replace “Fusion Weapon” with “Fission Weapon” in all of my previous posts. It’s been a long time since I thought of them as anything other than “little nuke” and “big nuke” so in my attempt to be literally correct as per the rules, i failed horribly  :roll:
