Thank you for your review and the kind words! While the scenario is largely inspired by real world events, I tried my hardest to make the factions represented all blatantly correct in their analysis of the situation within their spheres of concern and knowledge, irresolvable in their conclusions, and unavoidably, permanently invested enough to justify the guns coming out.
Even cheating by using a historic model, that's the thing I'm probably proudest of in this entry. Not the new rules for travel or minions, but just how reasonable everyone is while trying to kill each other.
