County Annexation Game IV

[Gass3268]

I only border eight counties. I catty corner two. If those count, then all the ones I border/catty corner except Okeechobee.

Standing by this.

Sarasota, De Soto, Hardee, Highlands, Orange, Osceola, Lake, Sumner, and Hernando?

That's correct. It's Sumter, though.

The Vernon County die roll result:

Gass: 3
Jbrase: 6

Jbrase has won Vernon County. This result has seen the rest of Gass' turn (4 claims) be ruled impossible. As compensation, Gass may claim an additional 2 counties. (Not including any that Jbrase has claimed this turn*)


*The official ruling is that technically you can, but it will automatically be given lower consideration and thus you will waste another claim

Confused, do I know have 2, 6, or 7 claims left?

Wait, only 2? Shouldn't I just get to use my original 5 elsewhere?

You get half of the amount of counties you lose. Since I made this rule up on the spot and you didn't know, I'll give you 4 (it's only fair)

Looks like the freedom from commie Madison rule for midwestern folk comes down to Vernon.

Congrats on your victory! Would you be willing to trade Dodge County, WI for Sauk County, WI for the sake of cleanliness?

I normally would for the sake of aesthetics but Dodge is an important piece in my drive to the lake.

Just so I understand this for future turns. You automatically lose the claim that there is a challenge over and then get only half of the remaining claims. So if this would have happened in the future I would lose the claim for Vernon County and then only get 2 because 4/2=2. Do I have that right?

You may claim half of the territories you lost thanks to the claim - so if you had claimed DuPage and Washington Counties, as well as Fillmore and Houston, you'd only get 1. Make sense?

Yes, makes sense. Thank you.
