Initial Post - Executive Summary (Will post a better story tomorrow after some sleep)
Result: Loss (Spaceship - I'll click through the last couple of turns to find out if it is Vicky or JC who gets it... right now the turns are 5 minutes each with me doing nothing :P) Last turn taken 1988 (diplo loss check date). Suffice to say I am not in the running for a Spaceship.
It was an interesting game, and if I had taken the opportunities when I saw them it would have been a lot different... also I have *a lot* to learn when it comes to identifying diplomatic blocks. I might have had a shot at a diplo win if I could have picked out a diplomatic strategy earlier. Getting the UN itself was an interesting story... more on that in the morning.
I also did not place last... Mao bit the dust. Steamrolled by the western powers.
