Would it be okay to do an AAR of the game and post it on the General Forums so others can see how it plays?
The manual for the tabletop version can be legally be downloaded for free from BGG. It contains an example of play with commentary ("the US player wasn't so smart when he went for a realignment of Yugoslavia without paying attention to USSR policies in Asia; there will be Congressional hearings about this...")

Finally! After 13 hours of game play, I won as the US using the "War Games" card on turn 9...YES! Finally, I have to say this is an awesome little game. Now to try it as the USSR!
Update, literally after 20 mins or so of this posting I played and won my first game as USSR. I'm on the fence on how the AI handled the situation that was created in Europe, I managed to control of the key battlegrounds by round 3. The AI really didn't react to well once I had Italy and France. It kind of went about its business till I played a card called "Blockade" it couldn't react to. I then had free rein in West Germany. It attempted to fight back but it just didn't have the strength in ops numbers to win.
So word of advice, its best to play the game against the AI as US, starting out as USSR really won't help you figure out the game to well.

It's been done before, (AARs of other games I mean.) Though I'm already *this close.. ><* to buying it.

You can get VASSEL modules for the game too.

Well Aurelian, if you love to have physical copies of board games I think its worth it. I'm having a blast against the AI. I think you should buy via Steam old buddy, so we can stab each other in the back [:D]. It could expand our gaming pool. Plus I might be able to help accelerate your learning of the game. Come on...you know you want to [:'(]
