Five of us played this at the club on Thursday and we had so much fun that we're playing again next week.  My empire was based in Russia and Iran, Graham was in Australia, Lee in Europe, Ken in South America and Stu B. was the Great Satan.  When the imperialist dogs sponsored terror attacks in Western Russia, we responded with a financial shitstorm on the yankees and the funding of freedom fighters in the US.  Ken was the first to nuke someone, vapourising Western Canada.  European threats against me bought them a large dose of sunshine across Europe, centred on Ukraine.
