Matt from VT: it is your turn.  You have 3 reinforcements.


+ [1 state ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [No regions controlled]

= 3 reinforcements

[Mr. Morden]

I think the only hope Matt has is if he makes a smart decision about where to place his three reinforcements.  I realize the obvious choice is Washington, but he also has zero other options to consider, and he should weigh each one carefully.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Joe, why be stubborn?  Even with the best possible result for Matt (assuming he has no card set to turn in), Snowstalker will have a minimum of 38 battalions to reinforce with next turn.

Best possible result for Matt: WA>OR>NV>ID do or die and takes all three states with no losses.

Best realistic strategy for Matt:WA>ID>UT do or die, end even if he can attack from Utah.

Best realistic strategy for Matt:WA>ID>UT do or die, end even if he can attack from Utah.

I'd go for Wyoming instead of Utah, myself; doesn't border NV, slightly more inconvenient for Snow

3 on Washington

Attack OR>NV>ID do or die.

Taking Utah denies Snowstalker the bonus for controlling the Southwest, taking Wyoming denies Snowstalker nothing.  If you want to make things inconvenient for the counterattack, WA>ID, attack with 1 battalion ID>NV, then attack ID> MT or WY.  That way, if it succeeded it would be impossible to pile everything on one place and romp straight thru.

Yes, I actually took both ideas into consideration until I realized that about the bonus.
