RE: Winter is Coming
So... the game that Rabbit and I had was a real nail-biter. Only, we found that it wasn't actually a nail-biter. Let me explain...

I was the Finnish player in THROUGH THE DARK WATERS. I had lost the lighthouse around turn 6, but I still had Finnish reinforcements coming to the island. They arrived and we proceeded to conduct a series of back-and-forth attacks & counterattacks.

I managed to get a foothold onto the buildings just above the lighthouse and on the final turn my men surprised both of us and pushed out the demoralized and badly bruised-up Russian commandos. I was elated!

However, that elation quickly melted when I noticed that the victory levels didn't change to my favor. Rabbit searched and found that this scenario had a (in my view) moronic victory condition: Lose the lighthouse and you've lost the game. It didnt' matter if the lighthouse was taken. So, while we both thought this was going down to the wire, it had already been decided on turn 6.

Bummer.
