Twilight Struggle 2017 Tourney

Yep, I should have done that. But having Chernobyl, North Sea oil, CIA, awacs, colonial rear guards and Star Wars in one hand, I tried a gamble :slight_smile:

I also had notifications troubles

@geigerm, @Baelnor How’s the match coming?

Slowly but surely–just played AR1 on turn 6. I’ve got a measly 4 point lead, so, barring a screwup, this one will probably go down to the wire.

He pulled off the most irritating Headline phase. I played man in Tehran and he headlined muslim revolution to wipe out all of my Middle East influence so my Tehran card failed. Argh!!!

Never mind. After @mgeiger bear trapped himself I am hoping he rolls poorly for at least one round to make up for it!

Game is super close

Showcasing the importance of the US moving into Lebanon as soon as DEFCON hits 2!

Into round 7 and the Americas are a cluster. We have points everywhere but no real footholds

Yes. Since our game from way back then I have a red angry (1) Notification bubble on TS…even when the game is clearly done and dusted…

I do, too. Red badge with a 1 in it … despite literally never playing an online game of TS, ever.

Badges not working properly is annoying, but after years of ios gaming I’ve come to expect that. A few weeks ago, the actual notifications were broken for about a week though. Fortunately, all is about as good as before now…

And that’s a wrap.

We went down to final scoring and I managed to take a 6 point lead into the final score phase… and won by a point! 1-0 to the us of a.

Great game!

Heck of a game–congrats on the win!

hardco over @Baelnor +26

Baelnor chose to play the US, so he had to play with no extra influence. The game started off rough for him, with me headlining Socialist Governments, couping Italy, and taking both Italy and France on turn 1. In AR6, I went after an early European control with Blockade, but Baelnor had Destalinization for the discard. With Decolonization, I managed to get a leg up in Asia as well, and by the end of the early war I was at +9. Another early war region rescored on turn 4, and Africa control sealed things up on turn 5 AR1. Good game Baelnor!

Challenge going out to @jmh.75.

Oh man I got obliterated! Good game @Hardco, hopefully I can learn a few things from a pretty awesomely executed soviet start

Has there been any news on the iPhone version lately?

There’s been no response to frequent questions that pop up on the Kickstarter every month or two. Android players seem to be able to play on their phones, but I guess it is more complicated for iOS…

The final match is almost at the end of turn 3 with the score tied.

Uh @Hardco, I think you were supposed to play me in the final and @JMH.75 play @Baelnor for the bronze?

Well I guess it’s tied in a fun match then! :joy: This is why we are supposed to report our match results in Challonge!

Yeah, I think the issue was that @OhBollox never marked his first match as a win, so I haven’t been able to update the following matches. Maybe you can mark that one as a win for him since you created the challonge tourney?

I’m pretty sure I still have screen shots of the following games so I can mark them after that…

Anyway, good luck and have fun!

Congrats @Hardco, true king of TS!
