EOG for Peru:

Since the designer has already acknowledged, this design needs work, so I
won't bother complaining about how unbalanced it is and just skip a head to
my perspective on the game.

***Yes, but your specific thoughts on how to improve it are most
welcome, and may well be incorporated into revisions aimed at
balancing it out...

I thought that there would be more diplomacy among the three northern
powers, e.g. Peru, Columbia and Venzula. Once the game started and looked
over the map I realized that there really wasn't much room to negotiate as
Columbia, unlike Venezuela and Peru, has no where to go. My plan then was to
take out Columbia quickly with Venezuela and it appeared to work until
Brazil NMRed.

***This is surprising - while PeVe vs. Co certainly is a good alliance
option, I thought with Colombia's fleets split, they could choose to
attack one way, and use the other fleet (on the other side of Panama)
as a bargaining chip to help their ally on the other side. Just one
Colombian fleet should be enough to help Venezuela overcome the
Brasilian navy, or Peru overcome the Bolivia. Do you disagree that
this (intended) dynamic exists, or was it not considered? If it does
not exist, why not, and what can be done to accomplish that?***

I think Venezuela got distracted by Brazil's NMR and decided to attack
Brazill--the bigger long term threat before we finished with Columbia. At
the time I thought it was a mistake for both Venezuela's future as well as
mine and I was unfortunately correct.

Congrats to all who survived and the winner, although this is one of the
most unbalanced variants I've seen actually played to a conclusion.

***My apologies for that. I am willing to make significant revisions
to improve it - to include removing the Andes rule, redrawing
provinces entirely, or changing the starting unit/home SC assignments
- your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
