INWO Deck - The Acronymicon
by Brian Strassman
Why do you think those government agencies have all those acronyms anyway?
Do they make it easier for the bureaucrats to talk about them? No! It's so
you don't know what they're doing when they try to take over the world!
But now, they're all under _your_ control...

Strategy
Lead
If the Gnomes of Zurich are playing, lead with the IRS to try to cause
him to bounce. If not, lead with Bill Clinton, as he gives the best
chance to expand your power structure quickly.
Game Play
Look at the Illuminati groups of your rivals, since they will determine
your deck's overall strategy. Your deck is heavy on Government groups,
and that is what this deck is designed to do primarily: expand with your
Government groups and get out a Clipper Chip, Cyborg Soldiers, and
Gun Control to boost their power for Bavaria's special goal. Pretty
standard stuff for Bavaria, really. However, if you see that your rivals
are playing either the Gnomes of Zurich or the Society of Assassins, you
have some new options for victory...
Your Enemies
The Gnomes of Zurich -- You have a ton of Government groups, plus the
CFL-AIO in your corner. Show the corps who the real boss is! Go on
the offensive once they have their power structure built up to a decent
level. Use your Antitrust Legislations to force them to reorganize
their Corporate groups away from each other, thus negating the alignment
bonuses for defense. Play Sorry, Wrong Number on them to strip the
protection of their Illuminati from them. Using the CFL-AIO, backed by
the power of your Gov't agencies, you shouldn't have any problems
destroying their most powerful groups. Link the Perpetual Motion Machine
to the CFL-AIO for even more fun...
The Society of Assassins -- If any of your rivals are playing a Society
of Assassins deck using Fanatic groups, you have the BATF in your
corner. Link the Cyborg Soldiers to them and get your Gun Control
NWO out to boost the BATF's power to its fullest.
With both of these options, you'll most likely want to unmask as the
Servants of Cthulhu and claim victory that way. Using your Crop
Circles (powered by actions from WITCH) should allow you to get both
cards in your hand when you need them.
The Endgame
Well, there isn't one, really. After all, this is basically a Bavaria
power deck, and you'll either have won with your special goal, or by
unmasking as Cthulhu.
