Round 1 We bought Mexico because it is close to USA so we don’t have to buy any navies to invade USA. Next round, we are planning to get China because of its low demands and high strength.

Round 2 We got 20 non-aligned countries without any demands. We decided to spend 44 points to buy nukes and SRs. With them, we nuked 20 of US’s 22 colonies hoping that they won’t receive any bonuses the next round. However, our army wasn’t large enough to defend against their invasion. Finally, we lost.

2nd Simulation 1st Round I was chosen as a Soviet spy but USA found out in the beginning so I joined up with USA. Tom then acted as a Soviet spy and told USSR false information. Since we couldn’t attack each other in the first round, we spent all on economic development, bought China and 2 space race research.

2nd Round We didn’t plan to attack USSR so we bought some armies and spent most of our money on economic development. USSR decided to invade us. After nuking, they did not have any navies to invade us with conventional armies so we survived.

3d and 4th Round We planned to spend all our money on militaries and nukes, hoping that we could win. After all the nukes, we tied however we didn’t have anything to spend for the next round. USSR still had money so we decided to aim for world peace and gave the non-aligned countries all our remaining points and armies. The USSR had 60 points and they nuked everyone.

Final Thought… 1. Nukes are better than armies 2. World Peace never works
