At 1:07:45 what was the reason for couping and not realigning? It seemed like a good chance to not just put France back on the board but potentially put East Germany on the board. I'd also noted a funny situation - you had a few opportunities to take Asia Control in the earlier turns. Imagine!
It was a while ago, but I think I had wanted to put Defcon pressure on him. Ideally, I would have evented another Defcon-degrader and then used TDTW to realign, as you suggested.
Nice win Peter, very well played. I typed up a bunch of comments and then accidentally closed the window, so from what I can remember... - Asia headline T3 should've been Defectors knowing he had Korean War, as that guarantees you either Asia dom or the BG coup. - T4 I prefer Brush War on isolated Argentina before Sadat, but order ended up not mattering. - T5 I prefer taking 50/50 Grain Sales coup on Panama knowing he has CA scoring (I don't think FYP was known?), rather than Africa coup knowing he could then realign you out immediately due to Decol headline. Also agreed with other comment that UN card should've been Muslim Rev. - T7 is tricky, I think Independent Reds is a clever headline given what you knew about his hand, although the loss of tempo due to not headlining Ask Not did end up causing some issues. - T9 I was panicked you weren't gonna figure out that D&C headline was safe. :) - T10 is an embarrassment of riches and you should be ashamed of yourself. Only thing is I would've evented Brush on Panama prior to triggering/spacing Che on final AR, but it ended up being a moot point. Anyway, well done!
Yeah, many good points. I later lamented not even thinking of Defectors of a solid headline to stop KW. And yes, T10 was just what the doctor ordered. Both my scoring showed up! 😁 BTW, saw your second match vs Warren in transit today. Very nice comeback! T1 and 2 were horrifying.

@@Frantzypantz Thanks, I was very fortunate to pull that off. Game 3 tomorrow morning at 8:30 am Mountain Time!
Congrats for the victory. A small remark, you UNed an unwinnable Arab-Israeli War instead of UNing a 4ops Muslim :)
Yes, should have spaced the war and UNed Muslim. Nice catch.
