Hi folks,

If you were to play in a realistic, gritty, 1960’s diplomatic/spy game, what would you be interested in playing? Tick all that apply (if you’ve answered this question on Facebook, please don’t also answer it here )

Thanks!

I command this thread to rise!!!

Thanks for the votes, those of you that voted

Now, another question: Would there legitimately be interest in an ultra-serious, high-stakes game where a large (like, say, 75%) part of the game - for the diplomats, at least - is sitting around a conference table negotiating a treaty/doing other high level diplomatic talks?

I’d try it (again - The Summers Crisis at Chimera 2009 was like that).

(And dammit, I still have a title going round in my head for a Cold War successor to The Gehenna Memo: “Tinker, Tailor, Sorcerer, Spy”)

Blurb (still a work in progress):

Helsinki, Finland: February 1969. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (which history will remember as the starting point for the SALT I treaty) are being planned. High level diplomats from the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc are meeting with their counterparts from NATO to determine the extent of the upcoming talks. Everything and everyone is not as they seem, however. There are spies, suspected double agents, and under the table deals to be done. In addition, talks are planned to discuss the mysterious disappearance of no less than four submarines in the last 12 months, from all invited nations. Can you secure the best negotiating position for your country for the upcoming talks? And more importantly, what will it cost you - and your nation - to obtain that position?
