COVID is getting better here. Of course as it gets better, my work gets more and more busy. Of course I don't mind. Question, you played Warsaw Pact as your headliine event, but the vassal file talks about Socialist Governments Is that right, is that your first card play? |

Alright, if memory serves me first, headline goes by Ops value of the event with a scoring card considered to have an 0 Ops value. So you would play your event first and once that is done, I will score Europe. |

I was going to mention that the containment card event benefits the United States as opposed to the Soviet Union. Did you want to select that card as your headline event or did you intend to play it for the OP points for your first play? |

Sorry, with the ice storm the week before last, I've been slammed at work. Took me awhile to get caught up. When you select a headline card, the ACTS progrma hides it until both players have selected their headline card so you did it right. |

We'll see. Worst case scenario I still have a good job. This is basically a story of going from a good job to a potentially great job.

I feel the Facebook interview went well. At this point anyone who made the virtual onsite is going to be qualified for the role so it's going to come down to small factors.
