I could have kicked myself earlier today, I had the ideal opportunity for a photo to fit this week’s PhotoHunt theme.  I had been playing the board game ‘Twilight Struggle’ which re-enacts the cold war struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Twilight Struggle is a two-player game simulating the forty-five year dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional flares of warfare between the Soviet Union and the United States. The entire world is the stage on which these two titans fight to make the world safe for their own ideologies and ways of life. The game begins amidst the ruins of Europe as the two new “superpowers” scramble over the wreckage of the Second World War, and ends in 1989, when only the United States remained standing.

Well on this occasion things didn’t go according to plan and I reached 20 victory points half way through the game which meant immediate victory to me and I was playing the Soviet Union!!!  I had thoroughly licked my opponent.  I didn’t think of photographing the event until I had put the game away.

I was left wondering what to post when the following New Years Message arrived on my mobile.  I am not quite sure what the sender is trying to tell me…
