Corrupt America - Variant

Okay so recently we played AA and we were short a player so we did this. It was HUGE fun.

We removed America as a player. Throw out Axis vs Allies, make whatever alliances suit you. We had a "Prelude to war" turn where each player received 50 credit to spend how they wish and place where ever they wish in their territory. Original placements remained unchanged. Placements were made in the play order At the beginning of each turn. All players can submit a secret bid in currency for control of America. Only the highest bidder controls America for 1 turn. All players pay the bid. The bid payments go back to the bank and no country spends them. They currency is lost to all. The winner is not announced until America's turn.

After the game we all agreed it "blew up" all the old strategies and it was fun.

Axis and Allies

This is unrelated to PUCS development but it was so cool I had to mention it. My friend has been laid up after some surgery earlier this month. We have been play Axis and Allies via Map Tool and its been a lot of fun so far. Below are some screen shots.

I really remain impressed with this FREE, flexible and easy to use application from the good folks over at http://www.rptools.net. I eagerly await their 1.3 release coming out of BETA sometime this year.
