<p style="top:140.4pt;left:56.2pt">Welcome to <i>ANDEAN ABYSS!</i> Because this game employs some </p>
<p style="top:154.2pt;left:56.2pt">innovative new game mechanics, we thought it would be easiest to </p>
<p style="top:167.9pt;left:56.2pt">learn if we included an interactive tutorial to teach new players how </p>
<p style="top:181.7pt;left:56.2pt">to play the game with a minimal amount of fuss. In this interactive </p>
<p style="top:195.4pt;left:56.2pt">tutorial we will use a more conversational style of writing. Occasion-</p>
<p style="top:209.2pt;left:56.2pt">ally we will ask the reader to read certain rules from the rulebook </p>
<p style="top:222.9pt;left:56.2pt">before continuing the tutorial. </p>
<p style="top:245.7pt;left:56.2pt">The first thing you will need to do if you haven’t already is unfold </p>
<p style="top:259.4pt;left:56.2pt">the game’s mapboard. Place it on a clean surface, making sure to </p>
<p style="top:273.2pt;left:56.2pt">have ample space around the perimeter of the board so as to have </p>
<p style="top:286.9pt;left:56.2pt">room for game pieces. (Three to five inches of room should suffice </p>
<p style="top:300.7pt;left:56.2pt">nicely.)</p>
<p style="top:323.4pt;left:56.2pt">Next, punch out all the game’s cardboard pieces (we call them </p>
<p style="top:337.2pt;left:56.2pt">“counters”) and sort them by type. Place them within easy reach </p>
<p style="top:350.9pt;left:56.2pt">because we’re going to set up the game shortly. </p>
<p style="top:373.7pt;left:56.2pt">Now sort the wooden pieces by color and shape. Place them in sorted </p>
<p style="top:387.4pt;left:56.2pt">piles near the mapboard. We’ll put them on the mapboard shortly.</p>
<p style="top:410.2pt;left:56.2pt">Finally, unwrap the game’s playing cards. There are basically two </p>
<p style="top:423.9pt;left:56.2pt">different type of cards in the game: Event Cards (the vast majority) </p>
<p style="top:437.7pt;left:56.2pt">and Propaganda Cards (there are four of these). Put the four Pro-</p>
<p style="top:451.4pt;left:56.2pt">paganda Cards in one pile, and all the Event Cards in another pile. </p>
<p style="top:465.2pt;left:56.2pt">We will construct the game’s deck in just a moment. </p>
<p style="top:487.9pt;left:69.8pt"><b><i>STOP.</i></b><i> Please pause just a moment and read section 1.1 </i></p>
<p style="top:501.7pt;left:69.8pt"><i>through section 1.3.4 of the rulebook. When you’re finished, </i></p>
<p style="top:515.4pt;left:69.8pt"><i>we’ll begin setting up the game.</i></p>
<p style="top:538.2pt;left:56.2pt">All done? Great! You should now have a decent understanding of </p>
<p style="top:551.9pt;left:56.2pt">the game’s map. With this knowledge in hand, let’s begin setting </p>
<p style="top:565.7pt;left:56.2pt">up the game:</p>
<p style="top:588.4pt;left:56.2pt">• Place the “Aid” counter on the “9” space of the General Records </p>
<p style="top:602.2pt;left:67.5pt">Track that runs around the perimeter of the gameboard. </p>
<p style="top:619.5pt;left:56.3pt">• Place the Government Resources cylinder (large blue cylinder) </p>
<p style="top:633.3pt;left:67.5pt">on the “40” space; and the the FARC, AUC, and Cartel Resources </p>
<p style="top:647.0pt;left:67.5pt">cylinders (large red, yellow, and green respectively) on the “10” </p>
<p style="top:660.8pt;left:67.5pt">space.</p>
<p style="top:678.1pt;left:56.3pt">• Place the “Total Support” counter on the “50” space.</p>
<p style="top:695.5pt;left:56.3pt">• Place the “Opposition + Bases” counter on the “20” space.</p>
<p style="top:712.8pt;left:56.3pt">• Place the “El Presidente” counter on the “Samper” box of the “El </p>
<p style="top:726.6pt;left:67.5pt">Presidente” display on the map.</p>
<p style="top:743.9pt;left:56.3pt">• Place the remaining four large cylinders (Eligibility cylinders) </p>
<p style="top:757.7pt;left:67.5pt">into the “Eligible” box on the “Sequence of Play” display.</p>
<p style="top:775.0pt;left:56.3pt">• Collect 2 “Active Support” counters and place one into the </p>
<p style="top:788.8pt;left:67.5pt">“Neutral” boxes inside the departments of Atlántico and Santander </p>
<p style="top:802.5pt;left:67.5pt">on the map.</p>
<p style="top:819.9pt;left:56.3pt">• Collect 10 more “Active Support” counters and place one into </p>
<p style="top:833.6pt;left:67.5pt">each city <i>except Cali. </i>(Cali begins Neutral.)</p>
<p style="top:851.0pt;left:56.3pt">• Collect 7 “Active Opposition” counters and place one into the </p>
<p style="top:864.7pt;left:67.5pt">“Neutral” boxes inside the departments of Chocó, Arauca, Meta </p>
<p style="top:878.5pt;left:67.5pt">East, Meta West, Guaviare, Putumayo, and Nariño.</p>
<p style="top:901.2pt;left:56.2pt">Ok, we’re off to a great start! The next thing we need to do is put </p>
<p style="top:915.0pt;left:56.2pt">the forces of the four factions onto the map.</p>
<p style="top:140.4pt;left:407.2pt"><b><i>STOP. </i></b><i>Please pause just a moment and read section 1.4 </i></p>
<p style="top:154.2pt;left:407.2pt"><i>through section 1.4.3 of the rulebook. When you’re finished </i></p>
<p style="top:167.9pt;left:407.2pt"><i>we’ll continue setting up the game.</i></p>
<p style="top:190.7pt;left:393.8pt">Now that you’ve read about the different forces available to the </p>
<p style="top:204.4pt;left:393.8pt">players, we can begin putting those pieces on the map. But first, we </p>
<p style="top:218.2pt;left:393.8pt">should do an inventory of the wooden pieces you sorted earlier. It’s </p>
<p style="top:231.9pt;left:393.8pt">likely that you will have one or two extra pieces so let’s find those </p>
<p style="top:245.7pt;left:393.8pt">and get those out of the way first. Your game should have:</p>
<p style="top:268.4pt;left:393.8pt">• 30 dark blue cubes</p>
<p style="top:282.2pt;left:393.8pt">• 30 light blue cubes</p>
<p style="top:295.9pt;left:393.8pt">• 3 dark blue discs</p>
<p style="top:309.7pt;left:393.8pt">• 12 green octagonal cylinders</p>
<p style="top:323.4pt;left:393.8pt">• 15 green discs</p>
<p style="top:337.2pt;left:393.8pt">• 18 yellow octagonal cylinders</p>
<p style="top:350.9pt;left:393.8pt">• 6 yellow discs</p>
<p style="top:364.7pt;left:393.8pt">• 30 red octagonal cylinders</p>
<p style="top:378.4pt;left:393.8pt">• 9 red discs</p>
<p style="top:401.2pt;left:393.8pt">Place any extra blue, green, yellow, and/or red wooden pieces into </p>
<p style="top:414.9pt;left:393.8pt">the box; they are extra pieces. (But don’t throw these away! These </p>
<p style="top:428.7pt;left:393.8pt">extra bits may come in handy if you accidentally lose a piece.)</p>
<p style="top:451.4pt;left:393.8pt">Ok, now that any extra bits have been removed from the mix, let’s be-</p>
<p style="top:465.2pt;left:393.8pt">gin the setup (note that all Guerrillas start embossed side down):</p>
<p style="top:484.5pt;left:393.8pt">• Collect a total of 12 dark blue cubes, which you now know as </p>
<p style="top:498.3pt;left:405.0pt">“Troops.” Place 3 Troops in each of Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and </p>
<p style="top:512.0pt;left:405.0pt">Santander.</p>
<p style="top:529.4pt;left:393.8pt">• Now collect 2 light blue cubes—Police: place both in the city of </p>

<p style="top:560.5pt;left:393.8pt">• Collect 10 more Police and place one in each of the remaining </p>

<p style="top:591.6pt;left:393.8pt">• Collect a single dark blue disc—a Government Base. Place it into </p>
<p style="top:605.3pt;left:405.0pt">one of the “base” spaces in the department of Santander.</p>

<p style="top:173.4pt;left:56.2pt;font-size:15.0pt"><b>Troops </b></p>
<p style="top:189.6pt;left:99.4pt">Troops are your workhorses. They’re going to do all the </p>
<p style="top:203.4pt;left:99.4pt">heavy lifting for you. Essentially, Troops are your pieces </p>
<p style="top:217.1pt;left:99.4pt">that can be moved into spaces to search (Sweep) and de-</p>
<p style="top:230.9pt;left:56.2pt">stroy (Assault) Insurgent Guerrillas and Bases. </p>
<p style="top:253.6pt;left:56.2pt">Troops are brought into the game through the Train Operation. </p>
<p style="top:267.4pt;left:56.2pt">Troops can move via:</p>
<p style="top:285.6pt;left:56.2pt"><b>• Sweep Operation</b>—into an adjacent City or Department to find </p>
<p style="top:299.4pt;left:67.5pt">(Activate) Insurgent Guerrillas.</p>
<p style="top:316.7pt;left:56.3pt"><b>• Patrol Operation</b>—into and/or along LoCs to find (Activate) </p>
<p style="top:330.5pt;left:67.5pt">Insurgent Guerrillas and perhaps kill them in one such space.</p>
<p style="top:347.8pt;left:56.3pt"><b>• Airlift Special Activity</b>—any 3 troops (unlimited with <i>Black-</i></p>
<p style="top:361.6pt;left:67.5pt"><i>hawks</i> Government Capability) move from anywhere to anywhere </p>
<p style="top:375.3pt;left:67.5pt">on the map. Do not underestimate the effectiveness of this Special </p>
<p style="top:389.1pt;left:67.5pt">Activity! </p>
<p style="top:411.8pt;left:56.2pt">Troops kill Insurgent Guerrillas via the Assault Operation, but only </p>
<p style="top:425.6pt;left:56.2pt">Active guerillas.</p>
<p style="top:448.3pt;left:56.2pt">Guerrillas must be Activated by a Sweep (or some action they them-</p>
<p style="top:462.1pt;left:56.2pt">selves undertook) before Government Troops can eliminate them. </p>
<p style="top:484.8pt;left:56.2pt">Also, through their presence, Troops can project Government control </p>
<p style="top:498.6pt;left:56.2pt">of a space in a Control Phase of a Propaganda card. But, and this is </p>
<p style="top:512.3pt;left:56.2pt">important, by themselves, Troops cannot alter Support/Opposition </p>
<p style="top:526.1pt;left:56.2pt">status in an area. They need Police support to effect that. In the </p>
<p style="top:539.8pt;left:56.2pt">Redeploy Phase, Troops in a LoC or Department space without a </p>
<p style="top:553.6pt;left:56.2pt">Government Base must deploy out of that area (even if that space </p>
<p style="top:567.3pt;left:56.2pt">is Government controlled). Thus their staying power outside a City </p>
<p style="top:581.1pt;left:56.2pt">is limited. </p>
<p style="top:603.8pt;left:56.2pt">Lastly, Troops, by their presence in a space, can inhibit the ability </p>
<p style="top:617.6pt;left:56.2pt">of the AUC and FARC to make use of the Extort Special Action. </p>
<p style="top:631.3pt;left:56.2pt">Also, when positioned with Support or on a LoC, Troops can spot </p>
<p style="top:645.1pt;left:56.2pt">(Activate) marching Guerrillas.</p>
<p style="top:671.3pt;left:56.2pt;font-size:15.0pt"><b>Police </b></p>
<p style="top:687.6pt;left:99.4pt">Police are very, very important Government pieces. While </p>
<p style="top:701.3pt;left:99.4pt">much less mobile than Troops, Police give the Government </p>
<p style="top:715.1pt;left:99.4pt">player crucial positional staying power. </p>
<p style="top:737.8pt;left:56.2pt">Here’s what Police do for you: </p>
<p style="top:756.1pt;left:56.2pt">• Police cannot move with Troops on a Sweep (unless the <i>National </i></p>
<p style="top:769.8pt;left:67.5pt"><i>Defense & Security Council</i> Government Capability is in play). </p>
<p style="top:783.6pt;left:67.5pt">But they can, if already positioned in the space, assist the Troops </p>
<p style="top:797.3pt;left:67.5pt">in the space being swept. Police cubes count when factoring the </p>
<p style="top:811.1pt;left:67.5pt">effect of a Sweep. </p>
<p style="top:828.4pt;left:56.3pt">• Police inhibit the ability of the Cartels to use the Cultivate Special </p>
<p style="top:842.2pt;left:67.5pt">Action. Police can also inhibit FARC from using the Kidnapping </p>
<p style="top:855.9pt;left:67.5pt">Special Action. Like Troops, Police on LoCs or in spaces with </p>
<p style="top:869.7pt;left:67.5pt">Support can spot (Activate) marching Guerrillas (very important to </p>
<p style="top:883.4pt;left:67.5pt">protect the Cities), and inhibit FARC and the AUC from Extorting </p>
<p style="top:897.2pt;left:67.5pt">in a space. </p>
<p style="top:914.5pt;left:56.3pt">• Police can be used to Patrol LoCs to activate Guerrillas on LoCs, </p>
<p style="top:66.9pt;left:405.0pt">and even conduct an Assault on a LoC as a part of the Sweep. </p>
<p style="top:84.3pt;left:393.8pt">• Within Cities, Police can participate in an Assault. </p>
<p style="top:101.6pt;left:393.8pt">• Police, like Troops, can protect a Government Base from Attack </p>
<p style="top:115.4pt;left:405.0pt">(cubes must be removed before a Base is removed). </p>
<p style="top:138.1pt;left:393.8pt">So far they probably don’t sound terribly useful to the player. There </p>
<p style="top:151.9pt;left:393.8pt">is, however, one crucial role Police have that makes them indispens-</p>
<p style="top:165.6pt;left:393.8pt">able: Police enable the Government player to conduct Civic Actions </p>
<p style="top:179.4pt;left:393.8pt">during a Propaganda card, and also as part of a Train Operation. </p>
<p style="top:202.1pt;left:393.8pt">Civic Action is the means by which the Government player degrades </p>
<p style="top:215.9pt;left:393.8pt">Opposition and/or adds/improves Support—necessary to fulfill the </p>
<p style="top:229.6pt;left:393.8pt">Government victory conditions. At least 1 Police cube is required </p>
<p style="top:243.4pt;left:393.8pt">to conduct Civic Action in a Propaganda Phase or as a postscript </p>
<p style="top:257.1pt;left:393.8pt">to a Train Operation. </p>
<p style="top:279.9pt;left:393.8pt">Police cannot move by Airlift or (usually) Sweep. They can only </p>
<p style="top:293.6pt;left:393.8pt">be moved onto LoCs and/or Cities from an adjacent space during a </p>
<p style="top:307.4pt;left:393.8pt">Patrol. If LoCs are free of Insurgent Guerrillas, Police can continue </p>
<p style="top:321.1pt;left:393.8pt">to move from LoC to LoC and City to LoC, etc., until a guerrilla is </p>
<p style="top:334.9pt;left:393.8pt">encountered or the player chooses to stop moving. But getting Police </p>
<p style="top:348.6pt;left:393.8pt">into Departments is not quite as simple and requires some planning. </p>
<p style="top:362.4pt;left:393.8pt">So how do you get Police to where you need them without using a </p>
<p style="top:376.1pt;left:393.8pt">Patrol Operation? There are two methods principally: </p>
<p style="top:398.9pt;left:393.8pt"><b>Training—</b>You can get Police into a space where they are needed by </p>
<p style="top:412.6pt;left:393.8pt">simply undertaking the Train Operation and Training Police in that </p>
<p style="top:426.4pt;left:393.8pt">space. For Cities, this is not a problem as you can Train in any City. </p>
<p style="top:440.1pt;left:393.8pt">Training in a Department, however, requires a bit of planning. </p>
<p style="top:462.9pt;left:393.8pt">In order to place cubes by Training in a Department, you must have </p>
<p style="top:476.6pt;left:393.8pt">a Base there. In order to get a Base into that Department, you must </p>
<p style="top:490.4pt;left:393.8pt">first have three cubes in that Department. OK, so how do you get </p>
<p style="top:504.1pt;left:393.8pt">cubes into a Department so you can place a Base? Typically, you will </p>
<p style="top:517.9pt;left:393.8pt">undertake a Sweep Operation to move Troops into a Department. </p>
<p style="top:531.6pt;left:393.8pt">You could also use the Airlift Special Activity to fly an additional </p>
<p style="top:545.4pt;left:393.8pt">3 Troops there. Then, in a subsequent turn, you undertake a Train </p>
<p style="top:559.1pt;left:393.8pt">Operation in that Department, only you don’t place cubes; instead, </p>
<p style="top:572.9pt;left:393.8pt">you remove 3 cubes and place a Base. </p>
<p style="top:595.6pt;left:393.8pt">Once you have a Base, in a future turn, you can Train and place </p>
<p style="top:609.4pt;left:393.8pt">Police into that Department. If you have Troops and Police and more </p>
<p style="top:623.1pt;left:393.8pt">Government pieces than any other Faction in that Department, you </p>
<p style="top:636.9pt;left:393.8pt">may also pay for Civic Action in order to improve Support (even </p>
<p style="top:650.6pt;left:393.8pt">without a Base). </p>
<p style="top:673.4pt;left:393.8pt"><b>Redeploy</b>—During the Redeploy Phase of a Propaganda card, the </p>
<p style="top:687.1pt;left:393.8pt">Government player can reposition any and all of his Police to any </p>
<p style="top:700.9pt;left:393.8pt">LoCs or any space with Government Control.</p>
<p style="top:723.6pt;left:393.8pt">Adjacency does not apply during this Phase, so this is a very pow-</p>
<p style="top:737.4pt;left:393.8pt">erful opportunity to move otherwise less-mobile Police around the </p>
<p style="top:751.1pt;left:393.8pt">board. The player must plan very carefully here lest he be forced to </p>
<p style="top:764.9pt;left:393.8pt">waste Resources and Operational tempo later on. </p>
<p style="top:787.6pt;left:393.8pt">And so, in short, the Government player may reposition his Police </p>
<p style="top:801.4pt;left:393.8pt">preemptively and for free during the Redeploy Phase. The Govern-</p>
<p style="top:815.1pt;left:393.8pt">ment player may place new Police reactively and for a considerable </p>
<p style="top:828.9pt;left:393.8pt">cost in Resources when undertaking a Train Operation during an </p>
<p style="top:842.6pt;left:393.8pt">event card play. Police enable the Government to gain precious </p>
<p style="top:856.4pt;left:393.8pt">support necessary to fulfilling his victory conditions. This then, will </p>
<p style="top:870.1pt;left:393.8pt">likely free up Troops to deploy elsewhere against Insurgents. Police </p>
<p style="top:883.9pt;left:393.8pt">give the Government player staying power. </p>

<p style="top:83.0pt;left:115.7pt">Bases are crucial to Government success in that they </p>

<p style="top:138.0pt;left:56.2pt">Bases they can establish. Don’t waste them! </p>
<p style="top:160.8pt;left:56.2pt">Where do you need Bases? You need them in Departments. You </p>
<p style="top:174.5pt;left:56.2pt">do not need them in Cities. Why? Cities, are de facto Bases. Bases </p>
<p style="top:188.3pt;left:56.2pt">enable the player to Train Troops and/or Police in that space. Since </p>
<p style="top:202.0pt;left:56.2pt">you an already do that in a City, you do not need to give up three </p>
<p style="top:215.8pt;left:56.2pt">cubes and use one of your three Base pieces there! The only good </p>
<p style="top:229.5pt;left:56.2pt">a Base will do the Government in a City is deny the ability to place </p>
<p style="top:243.3pt;left:56.2pt">a Base in that City to one of the Insurgent Factions. But since the </p>
<p style="top:257.0pt;left:56.2pt">Government only has three Bases with which to work, this seems </p>
<p style="top:270.8pt;left:56.2pt">to be a wasted use of a Base. </p>
<p style="top:293.5pt;left:56.2pt">Why do you need Bases? You need Bases in order to Train Police </p>
<p style="top:307.3pt;left:56.2pt">and Troops in a Department. In order to decrease Opposition and </p>
<p style="top:321.0pt;left:56.2pt">increase Support for the Government, the Government player must </p>
<p style="top:334.8pt;left:56.2pt">undertake Civic Actions either in conjunction with a Train Operation </p>
<p style="top:348.5pt;left:56.2pt">or during a Propaganda card. In order to undertake a Civic Action, </p>
<p style="top:362.2pt;left:56.2pt">one or more Police must be in that space. In order to get Police into </p>
<p style="top:376.0pt;left:56.2pt">a Department where there are presently no Police, they must usually </p>
<p style="top:389.8pt;left:56.2pt">be Trained there. To be Trained there, you need a Base. </p>
<p style="top:412.5pt;left:56.2pt">Bases also allow Troops to remain in a Department during the </p>
<p style="top:426.2pt;left:56.2pt">Redeploy Phase of a Propaganda card. And so if the Government </p>
<p style="top:440.0pt;left:56.2pt">player is still fighting to wrest control of a Department from an </p>
<p style="top:453.8pt;left:56.2pt">Insurgent faction when a Propaganda card is resolved, the presence </p>
<p style="top:467.5pt;left:56.2pt">of a Base in that Department allows the Government player to keep </p>

<p style="top:433.2pt;left:56.2pt"><i>in almost all known societies. </i></p>
<p style="top:452.5pt;left:56.2pt"> —David Kilcullen, <i>Counterinsurgency,</i> 2010 </p>
<p style="top:475.3pt;left:56.2pt">Much like the study of warfare (in my country at least), board </p>
<p style="top:489.0pt;left:56.2pt">wargaming traditionally has focused on conventional conflict. Even </p>
<p style="top:502.8pt;left:56.2pt">within the realm of modern conflict, designers often choose hypo-</p>
<p style="top:516.5pt;left:56.2pt">thetical conventional wars rather than real, ongoing insurgencies. </p>
<p style="top:539.3pt;left:56.2pt">This fact leaves fields of virgin snow for the game designer who </p>
<p style="top:553.0pt;left:56.2pt">would venture into the complicated topic of insurgency—the effort </p>
<p style="top:566.8pt;left:56.2pt">of armed groups to use both violent and non-violent means to affect </p>
<p style="top:580.5pt;left:56.2pt">political affairs within a state. I design and play wargames in part </p>
<p style="top:594.3pt;left:56.2pt">to grapple with historically relevant issues, and the frequency of </p>
<p style="top:608.0pt;left:56.2pt">insurgency in our life-times surely makes it among the most relevant </p>
<p style="top:621.8pt;left:56.2pt">sorts to conflicts to us today. </p>
<p style="top:644.5pt;left:56.2pt">Perhaps because insurgency (like terrorism) so intimately blends </p>
<p style="top:658.3pt;left:56.2pt">politics with the use of force, too few boardgames have succeeded in </p>
<p style="top:672.0pt;left:56.2pt">adequately representing even the fundamentals of counterinsurgency </p>
<p style="top:685.8pt;left:56.2pt">(or COIN), such as the complex relationship between area control </p>
<p style="top:699.5pt;left:56.2pt">and political legitimacy, to name just one. </p>
<p style="top:722.3pt;left:56.2pt">The first board wargame that I came across that delved substantially </p>
<p style="top:736.0pt;left:56.2pt">into COIN was Nick Karp’s <i>Vietnam 1965-1975</i> (Victory Games, </p>
<p style="top:749.8pt;left:56.2pt">1984), and once I played it, I was hooked on gaming guerrilla </p>
<p style="top:763.5pt;left:56.2pt">ambushes in the jungle, airborne sweeps, pacification, and the rest. </p>
<p style="top:777.3pt;left:56.2pt">But, for all its merits in depicting COIN, <i>Vietnam</i> still focused on </p>
<p style="top:791.0pt;left:56.2pt">the maneuvers and clashes of big military units, with political affairs </p>
<p style="top:804.8pt;left:56.2pt">as a backdrop, and in any event took several hundred hours to play </p>
<p style="top:818.5pt;left:56.2pt">if its political-strategic aspects were to be included.</p>
<p style="top:841.3pt;left:56.2pt">The greatest recent advances in boardgaming COIN, in my view, are </p>

<p style="top:640.4pt;left:56.2pt">view Colombia’s conflict from a range of political perspectives (see </p>

<p style="top:745.7pt;left:56.2pt">(see Murillo somewhat and Hristov especially). Yes, the Colombian </p>
<p style="top:759.4pt;left:56.2pt">Government and AUC shared a core interest in suppressing the </p>
<p style="top:773.2pt;left:56.2pt">FARC, and <i>ANDEAN ABYSS</i> accounts for this shared interest in the </p>
<p style="top:786.9pt;left:56.2pt">factions’ victory conditions. Indeed, Government and AUC players </p>
<p style="top:800.7pt;left:56.2pt">often will collaborate. </p>
<p style="top:823.4pt;left:56.2pt">But the Government under Uribe developed and executed a plan to </p>

<p style="top:864.7pt;left:56.2pt">caused the AUC, extraditions of its leaders, and its imperfect but not </p>
<p style="top:878.4pt;left:56.2pt">false demobilization show a real parting of Government and AUC </p>

<p style="top:905.9pt;left:56.2pt">Uribe, undeniable and widespread popular enthusiasm for President, </p>

<p style="top:200.8pt;left:393.8pt">of terror. So <i>ANDEAN ABYSS</i> has the Government seeking popular </p>
<p style="top:214.5pt;left:393.8pt">support to win, rather than the exploitation of the country’s poor by </p>
<p style="top:228.3pt;left:393.8pt">the violence-backed rich, as the far Left might have it.</p>
<p style="top:251.0pt;left:393.8pt">As for the nature of the FARC, the game does not depict the group </p>
<p style="top:264.8pt;left:393.8pt">as mere “narco-terrorists” who have left people’s revolution behind </p>
<p style="top:278.5pt;left:393.8pt">and continue mainly for personal drug profit (as some on the Right </p>

<p style="top:319.8pt;left:393.8pt"><i>ABYSS</i> models the latter aspect with the FARC Agitation mechanic </p>

<p style="top:370.0pt;left:393.8pt">The persistence in hard times of the FARC’s leaders and fighters </p>
<p style="top:383.8pt;left:393.8pt">demonstrates ideological commitment—dedication to something </p>
<p style="top:397.5pt;left:393.8pt">larger than self. Purely commercialist insurgent leaders at some </p>

<p style="top:438.8pt;left:393.8pt">Government pursuit—and despite opportunities for reconciliation. </p>
<p style="top:452.5pt;left:393.8pt">In the game, FARC victory depends directly on popular opposi-</p>

<p style="top:480.0pt;left:393.8pt">base—the preconditions for an eventual revolution and overthrow </p>
<p style="top:493.8pt;left:393.8pt">of the existing order.</p>

<p style="top:557.8pt;left:393.8pt">necessary and potent means for the Government to keep the Cartels </p>
