FG: Nuclear War XXI: "Glowing New World"

[Jonny]

Turn 13: Why won't you die?

Both Sparrowhawk and Exodus were too scared to launch the nukes that just might end the entire world, apparently; so they both decided to work on secret projects instead.

However, the lack of action did result in increased business for the bar at the Spectator's Bunker.

I like these tactical finishes.

Orders sent!

Edit: Revised orders sent........thinking too much about how best to survive another turn

[Skanky Burns]

Can you feel the tension?

Turn 14: And in the end, one

After last turn's silence, both decided that they would go for the win, and they each launch two nukes at each other. With each having less than two cities left, the future of the human race looks bleak... until Sparrowhawk's spy successfuly causes Exodus's nukes to detonate in mid-air, before they could cause any damage to Sparrow's cities.

Sparrowhawk is the NW XXI champion!

I am especially pleased with this win, as I thought it looked bleak when Hercules, Exodus and Shogun Gunner all teamed up on Kassiopeia and I.

Great job Sparrowhawk! Well played!

[Sparrowhawk]

Thanks for the kudos.

I wouldn't have won without help from both Shogun and Kassiopeia, quite an unusual game. I don't think Nuclear War works well with allies, but it did seem to work well this game .

(though getting Exodus to fall for my bluff on turn 13 and give me time to train a spy helped a lot )

Proof that it is possible to Murray someone without even knowing what a Murray is!

Congratulations Sparrowhawk.

Although I admit, I thought it would be Shogun or Exodus.

[DrSpike]

Nice.

[Shogun Gunner]

Clearly I miscalculated. I should have bunkered when you (Herc) blanketed me with four nukes.

This *IS* a fun game.

edit: Added name to define "you" since Dr.Spike snuck in there!

Congratulations on a fine win!
