It is super fun. Just for kicks I'm playing as Wallace and trying to prevent an electoral college majority in 1968. Its fricking impossible even on easy. Anybody succeed?

Trying to elect The Great Commoner in 1896 is a challenge too.

It's possible on easy, at least: just remember: your objective isn't to win states completely, but to stop Humphrey and Nixon from winning the 270 seats they need. Focus on playing spoiler in swing states in this era Texas is a swing state and be a "moderate segregationist".

Here's some help: http://i.imgur.com/Y6EcKQf.png

As for Bryan, I haven't won yet (lost by 2 EV) but it seems to be really important to take into account the distributions of EV at that time. Illinois is way more important than you think.

Inspired by this game: what if Nixon/Reagan had tried to win their respective elections without using the Southern Strategy as overtly as they did (e.g. Reagan doesn't give a speech in the town that lynched civil rights workers), suggesting that segregation was outside the realm of acceptable federal political discourse?
