Twilight Struggle

by Twiface
Twilight and Spike shut themselves up in their castle for ten years where they play a magic board game against a malevolent spirit to prevent global thermonuclear war.

Twilight and Spike shut themselves up in their castle for ten years where they play a magic board game against a malevolent spirit to prevent global thermonuclear war.

A turn-by-turn account of an actual game of ‘Twilight Struggle,’ in which every single action is noted, mixed in with tangential arguments and commentaries on everything from fandom content producers to religion to the game itself, straight from the lips of the Beavis and Butthead of boardgaming!
Great for any Twilight Struggle fans, or (alternate) history buffs in general, although the commentary is rather scathing.

DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY BUTTHURT.

Dedicated to Kkat for not preventing me from taking a glorious crap on her magnum opus.
Narrated by ‘Ron Bon’ Perlmare, the same pony who narrated the intro of Fallout: Equestria and all of its spinoffs.

====Update!=====================
The Official Map has been released! Now you can follow the action and actually understand what the characters are talking about!
===================================================
This story is old and was rushed out. I'm thinking of rewriting it at some point.
