This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
I have used the 'oldfashioned' pencil and paper and have got a final score of:
WotR: 22
TS: 19
This includes:
- MossIcon's cryptic vote. moss_icon wrote:

two of the best games ever made. except twilight struggle is the actual best game ever made.
these two games do not fight, they have a big cuddle. and then make a one off roll to see who wins. TS has nukes, WotR has gandalf. you can't call it.
haha, oops. i forgot to finish my post then. how embarrassing.

Oy, Juniper, you forgot to include Churchill's vote for Twilight Struggle! That makes it 20:20 - a draw!!

TS has a proper board as much as WotR has; your kiwi logic is strange and beyond comprehension. And WotR doesn't have A&A minis either. "

Churchill
I'm sorry I blew the whistle now! This is getting more and more controversial - shit this could take down Trash Dome and everybody in it!! The worst part is, if it is a tie, Mad Dog holds the tie breaker vote (just like the VP) - that means he'll soon be getting stuffed envelopes full of cash and all kinds of freebies to tip the vote either way. This could spiral out of control.

TS has a piece of paper, but apparently the 3rd edition is getting a mounted board. WotR does have minis - the point being TS doesn't but maybe could have garnered votes if they had minis and plastic markers like A&A ;-p

Ok, that set's it right then. No need to found a WotRocacy just yet... but I'd keep a watchful eye on all the shifty activity trying to squeeze a win for Struggle. Luckily Struggle doesn't have a brother Jeb in Florida.

Which traditionally has been the 'proper' board for a wargame. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
"

So you're blatantly holding TS up to a higher standard than WotR just so you can say it failed to make the cut? TS has to have cold-war A&A type minis, but for WotR any crap piece of plastic will do? Talk about double standards!
"

How dare you accuse Churchill of being a sock puppet! That's a vile slur on our noble stiff-upper-lipped heritage. You should be sent back in chains, as we dealt with your malodorous sock-abusing ancestors.
"

My god, but you're desperate to gain the weiner vote aren't you...

It's all coming out now!! Southernman has someone in Florida creating sock puppet accounts for him to use undetected. Shamefull! A full investigation should be launched immediately. F:AT needs a TrashGate!
just finished up an amazing game of War of the Ring. Managed to get Dol Guldor and Umbar as the free peoples player but after an epic siege, i lost Umbar along with Aragorn. So because the shadow player diverted so many resources into securing Umbar so as not to lose. Osgiliath rolled into Minas Morgul and Morannon ftw. I even got a lone gondor soldier into Gorgoroth for good measure and took the city west of Mount Galabad(sp?) just to rub it in.
Merry was leading the fellowship on his own. It was cool.
even with how amazing this game is, my vote remains for TWILIGHT STRUGGLE. That is how good a game that is.
This "trashgate" is complete bullshit being perpetrated by stealth Eurotards who can't stand to see an area control game lose. I'm going to petition for fortressat.geekdo.com.

Your implication that TS is a Euro is complete bullshit.
