Fortress America!

Pulled out the "classic" Fortress America for a three player game last night. Earl played the SAU (the South American Union) while Keven commanded both the East and West coast invasions. I played the defending Americans.

The invasion proceeded as planned with the American forces being pushed back on all fronts. I concentrated on taking out enemy air assets whenever possible. It ended up being a very close game. To win, the invaders have to take and hold (through the end of the following American turn...) eighteen of thirty cities. On two occasions the invaders took their eigthteenth city only to lose it (or another city) to my counter-attacks. That was the hig-water mark of the invasion. After a turn or two where the game was in the balance, the tide turned and the American forces began pushing back the depleted invading forces in the east and south. At the point, the writing was on the wall and Kevin and Earl conceded defeat. A close game that took us about four hours to play to completion.
