I played this as an Ireland gone mad at a missed handball call, and I achieved a nuclear strike on France.
I found it richly satisfying. Thanks for the link!
(It's a fun game, but who's the audience? I played as a maniac, because I've been drinking, and I ended up turning Western Europe into ash and cinder. The effects on the Eurovision competition alone justify my decisions, but the whole rational-action premise of the game is flawed -- random crazy can win! Hooray we are all going to die.)
Maybe boring guys in suits explaining International Relations Intricacies are not what will save us. It's not hurting anything currently, though.
Of course, WTF, Ireland getting nukes? Why is this even a crazy possibility, aside from the "let's amuse the drunk guy" scenario. For which I'm grateful, but, like, if the idea is to say "you see, Micks, here is why trying for a nuke is not very practical," well, that was not money well spent. Wasn't going to happen even without that advice.
The more I think about this game the dumber it looks. Sorry. It is aimed at whom now?
