Cold War Simulation Journals

Journal #1: I am part of the non-aligned countries. Our plan is to take over one of the superpowers by splitting into two teams of non-aligned countries and join both superpowers, the USA and USSR. When joined in a country, we will gain military and power, as soon as we have enough power, we will take over one of the superpowers. Journal #2 Half of the non-aligned countries join USA, the other joins USSR. I joined the USSR. I get 50% of the military for giving the support. At the end of the round, the USSR launches twenty nukes at the non-aligned countries that supported the US. The US takes down ten of the nukes saving 10 countries. The US launches 3 nukes at the USSR; USSR defends against 2 of them. 1 hits, with 65-army left. The USSR takes 85 armies and attacks the USSR, therefore the USA wins. Journal #3 The beginning of game two has begun, with round one and going into round two. In this game, I am again part of the non-aligned countries. This time, the rules allow the non-aligned countries to give their strength to a superpower every round, therefore making them more valuable. Unlike last time, I didn’t have a big country like China, although I had Saudi Arabia, which had strength of 6. This time, less attention was given to the non-aligned and I gave away my Arabia to the USA in round two. In return, I get five dollars and one extra dollar per round. I think the non-aligned countries should start with a little money otherwise they’re too worthless and they can’t do ANYTHING unless the superpowers help them. Journal #4 The USSR and USA went in on an all-out war. The USSR had 20 nukes, 80 armies and 11 navies. The USA had 14 nukes, 119 armies and 20 navies. They both took each other out basically, the USSR had 17 and USA had 16 armies. We, the non-aligned countries had the most armies, 17 and ready to attack next round with over over 60 armies, but the USSR attacked us after taking out the USA with a nuke. The USSR is victorious.
