The strategy of Twilight Struggle

Twilight Struggle is one of the most highly ranked board games. I have only played a few games but it is starting to grow on me and the tactical and strategic patterns start to emerge. The game (like all awesome, deep games) has a very steep learning curve: is is necessary to get acquainted with the cards. This comes naturally after a few plays. I have to mention the brilliant and original blog twilightstrategy.com that greatly helped me flatten the learning curve. The post on the opening, Events vs. Operation, and the reshuffles are must read for beginners. Keep up the good work
