Oil and Water

[Deadeye]

I've been inspired by Greybeard's Big Bash and Czerpak's Auction.

So here is the Oil and Water Battle:

The year is 2010. The USA is hungry for oil and thirsty for fresh water. Their eyes turn North.

I should be able to do 1 -2 turns per week for this battle.

Due to the taxpayer burden of the recent US $700 billion bailout, the player with the LOWEST bid (points for USA) that is above a hidden value (to keep it to serious bids) gets to crush the Canucks. :smoke:
