From Fat Legs Too Thin Legs

War on Terror



The Risk! I was amused for hours of Youth '... now that I'm still young, but a bit 'less, a friend of mine made me play in Terror War, a kind of modified version of the magazine and old war game.
And since the war and 'change, and is played by those who have everything or very little means focusing on terrorism, and here is that this variable' entry in the game.

But the Risk! and 'a board game "clean", where the clashes are clear and global influences are clearly visible on the board. This game is 'more' bastard and politically incorrect. There are only terrorists, I can assert that fed indistindamente from any work force in the game, but other variables that may change the balance of power. For example, and 'can pass secret messages to his opponents, to make alliances or blackmail, hidden from the other ignorant. There is money. With the money you pay or terrorism is built in the conquered lands. There is a 'global balance of power "(" axis of evil "), which can' make you the" rogue state "with all its strategies and tactics. There are the cards. Such that allow you to play the "Kyoto Protocol" to pay a lot 'of money to all enemies. That allow you to use terrorism to an attack ... or even the atomic bomb.



The game is' very 'realistic', and very ironic. A little 'less the tone of the match, which may also ignite. The one I played (a few months ago, now), and 'way more' or less so '(there were four): After a few rounds and a pair of strong alliances with two players have managed to capture a slice of the world. Terrorism was not particularly active there 'fodder. Then an agreement made and not respected between the two rivals did destabillizare the world balance. An enemy offered me a deal, not particularly attractive, but quite attractive. Well. Too bad that just after the break meanly, by exploding a bomb near of my possessions, making them radioactive indefinitely. But porc ... When you say the war will ... Play the card of disarmament to remove any other nuclear weapons from the planet, then expect the enemy to complete its expansion in Antarctica e. .. him rarely on the ground with the last atomic bomb on the planet. Also attacked in revenge for the other player (who, instead of curbing my sights on conquering Europe continues to rage on this that has broken a covenant with him) and now in disarray, decided to sell everything and give themselves actively against terrorism! So begins' a new phase, where all equilibria are unpacked and are seeking new strategies. I do not remember how and 'round to finish the game, now the hospoda was closing, but I think I finally united against terrorism (' cause another player had become too powerful), and the world 'over prey the grip of chaos and terror ...

And below, my first public appearance on the blog, in the shoes of the terrorist guy. : P (yes, even that is' in the box!). Hello!
