Total victory in 36 turns! That was a challenging one to adopt to.. Was losing a lot before I found my way.. Began to realize that the military and infiltration blockers always rose to the top and that it's not too hard to completely disable the enemy, just need to get rid of those cruise missiles.. Then I optimized my play by really getting into the deck building component - not being so quick to pick up cards, and thinning out cards that were not useful (or no longer useful) for my strategy with the EU.. When the time came to run through Donbas, I was a well oiled machine, making sure to stockpile resources before starting the combat.
There was really an aspect of optimizing the machine for different purposes - first I was just trying to survive and put up a solid defense, then I had to build resources, and finally go to war.. Probably could even do a bit better with those last 2 phases.. tempted to try again!
