Arms Race! Endgame

[Roussallier]

I have a lot of trouble when there is just me and someone else left, we both completely own one of the halves of the map and are relatively evenly balanced. Neither can hold the +50 bonus

Usually I play with fog of war, can someone give me tips on how to turn the tide? Seems to me the other side always finds a way to pull troops... Out of nowhere.

Thanks

Make it hard for them to fort by bombarding their shuttle on every other territory.

Take out the silos and the bunkers as well because that will make it harder to fort.

start to save troops. make you you can bomb him when he tries to get the 50+, but every troop he has on his spies wont help him once you start bombing him. after all, with the right timing you can do more damage to him then he can to you, and then its a matter of mopping up.

Lesson learned - don't try to hold anything the spies can kill, and don't launch until you can do some damage.

Came down to 2 of us, he should have facerolled me as he was two cards up and cashed in on two players he took out (it was escalating spoils). He tried to hold the +50 bonus every other turn and attacked through missile launch before he was ready twice.

When I finally launched, he had nothing but 1's on the entire continent.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this (many people are) but the Launch does not reset to 15 until you take it...you can knock it down to 2 or 1 without busting through...that information is sometimes useful on that board.
