Europe in Turmoil 2 - Game Over

After our trial game last week Richard and I settled in to play through to conclusion.  It helped that I had also read the rules.

The Great Depression had barely started when the Left Wing forces powered ahead thanks to (almost) dominance in France.  Automatic victory occurs if either player gets to 20 VP and the LW overachieved with 21.

Prior to playing the France scoring card I had a lucky advance on the USSR rearmament track 

which provide a critical two VPs.

Not many events had occurred in the four and a bit turns we played.

Correction this is just the event record which are prerequisites,

there were plenty of other events.

Apart from a few extremists (the little blue cubes)

the RW had no support in France which produced a big score

for the Left Wing.

And now from the other side...

Europe in Turmoil II News from our correspondent at the table’s edge

In a "victory" as short in duration as the Paris Commune of 1871, reports of a second French Revolution and the establishment of a new reign of terror under the auspices of Comrade Marque d'Okay (formerly le Comte d'Okay) have been widely discredited.  “Peas, Lamb and Croissants” he promised in a gastronomical spin on  revolutionary materials supplied by Moscow. (Although to be fair, he did deliver on the last point!)

It is understood that a tabulation error has resulted in votes being awarded for “control” of France rather than “domination”. (French Catholics Battleground space was not controlled by the Left Wing player. Control requires ALL Battleground spaces to be controlled).

In typical leftist fashion, a result was declared using fraudulently obtained votes, as shown in the following scene:

Speaking from his home in the Balet Jura, right wing candidate Richard d’Comptable, revealed that “This is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated in our country’s history” and vowed to never accept the decision and to “Make Europe Great Again”.
