The Players:

Germany (Facism)
Russia (Communism)
Iran (Islamic Fundamentalism)

The Initial Situation:

Russia has developed as the Runaway Leader landing Eastern Europe and then developing itself for 6 Global Influence where Iran is still at 4 and Germany 3!

Early Turns Summary:

After Russia quickly nabbed Eastern Europe she was able to build up both it and its home region to a development level of 4 each (Russian Total=8).

Germany nabs Canada and is settled in at 6 (German Total=6).

Iran nabs India and Peru (Iranian Total=7).

Middle Turns Summary:

Russia easily takes Central Asia (Like Eastern Europe it is adjacent so region draws are certainly good for Russia). Russia also easily adds Cuba as well (Russian Total=10).

Germany continues to invest to acquire all Level 2 techs and has 3 Tactics. Canada gets bumped up to 4 eventually (German Total = 8).

Iran also invests in tech and bumps India to 3 (Iranian Total = 8).

Both Germany and Iran declare war on Russia.

Second-to-Last Turn Summary:

Russia had two defensive cards but now spends nearly all influence cards to acquire 4 more. Last two cards played bring Cuba & Central Asia to where they will have 2 each at end of turn (Russian Total=10(12 at turn end)).

Germany & Iran both throw everything at Cuba & Central Asia and despite heavy russian defensive tech are able to successfully wrestle both out of Russian Control.

Turn End Scoring Summary:
Russia = 8 (Russia-4, Eastern Europe-4)
Germany = 8 (Germany-4, Canada-4)
Iran = 8 (Iran-4,India-3,Peru-1)

Last Turn Summary:

Development Phase:

Russia goes first during the Development Phase and trades up everything for THREE WMD's earning 3 Global Influence for a pending total of 11. Obviously Russia hopes to nab just about anything for that last point before rounds end.

Germany does nothing in the Development Phase.

Iran trades out some cards and plops 3 down on Iran, 3 down on India, and 1 down on Peru (Which had 2 additional cards placed in an earlier round). That increases each one dev level for a pending total of 11). Iran further trades all 3 of its level 2 techs for a WMD now bringing the pending total to 12!.

Conflict Phase:

Russia successfully replaces a single Iranian Influence card in Cuba now giving it more influence cards than anyone else. Since cuba is still worth 2 the Russian Pending Total is now 13!

Germany is up next and quickly realizes while it could stop Iran from winning by attacking Peru, that would just allow Russia to win instead. Germany doesn't have enough resources to stop BOTH from winning. However, since Germany had originally done most of the heavy lifting of wrestling both Cuba & Central Asia back to independant, a new strategy emerges. Germany attacks both Cuba & Central Asia and gets a majority of influence cards in both! (2 each for a total of 12!)

The Game Thus Ends as Follows:
Germany = 12 Global Influence
Iran = 12 Global Influence
Russia = 11 Global Influence (The so called Runaway Leader comes in last)

GERMANY WINS!! (Tie Breaker of 11 Advancement Points vs. Iran's 2 Advancement Points (Iran having earlier traded 6 points worth of Advancements for the WMD).

FACISM Sweeps the Globe!
