Well, that's it. I'll write up a little AAR later but suffice it to say that I think this game made up for Bandar's early attack in Celebrities since this time you got to sit on the sidelines as two failed early attacks basically took four nations out of the running. You must have been laughing seeing how the game was developing.
I don't want to derail Numahr's AAR, but I agree completely with the comments you made there about early, stalemated, wars doing nothing but draining the strength from both nations and eliminating them from contention.
Of course both Mictlan and Machaka poured a lot of design points into a heavy bless so I guess they figured they'd better capitalize on that early (you also had a strong bless but with Heat 3 giving free points you also had good scales). Though I'm not even sure that Machaka was playing to win but just to attack someone. I don't know that he even captured the indies around his cap before attacking.
