Imperial Struggle III

In our third game Richard's Great Britan was again foiled by France.

We had corrected our previous faux pas, but the challenge with this game is managing the economic, military and diplomatic resources, keeping track of global demand for goods, trying to dominate regions and win the many wars.  All these things produce varying benefits and VPs.

England had a strong lead in India, but France was marginally ahead in the other three regions.

The other fun part of this game is managing debt.  Going over your debt limit gives the other side VPs.  VPs only accumulate in ones or twos, but as only 15 are need from the starting position, everyone counts.
