I played a game on the "A Tale of Four Cities" Map,and I was in the Middle East, I can't remember the bonus' name, but a second guy was also in there, one the western side of the bonus. Towards the end of the game, he declared war on me and I knew I was fucked. So I gathered all my men and went to the farthest point of the map. It was a strip of land blocking off another strip, so I had all my men positioned there, and when the time came, I played the abandon card, leaving me on the other side with only one territory. I remember the chat the turn before that,

Him: I'll let you keep your territories in Arabia if you surrender now

Me: Oh that's fine, really, I kinda prepared for this

Turn 38
--------
Him: Oh you mother fucker!

Me: TROLOLOLOLOL

Me: Welcome to the Iron Wall!!


I have many other moments that stand out, but this is just one that I love to share

It was a long time ago and I can't remember the specifics. Only that I managed to pull of a successful counter. I first used an airlift card to bolster my defences in a key region, and knowing that the attacker would attack said region, and lose a significant amount of troops, I attack him from the region as my last order.
