Risk Domination IX [Round 4: Jas]

[Vosem]

I wanna play!

[Vosem]

I'm not 100%, but I think that between my control of Texas and Montana, I am in the lead in terms of actual land under my control.

That being said, Marokai has by far the best initial deployment. He should be able to take the Pacific and defend it without too much trouble.

[Vosem]

Reinforcements
3 to Utah

Moves
Do or die, Missouri to Arkansas to Louisiana
Do or die, Texas to Oklahoma

If anything up to here has failed, stop and await further orders

Do or die, New Mexico to Colorado

If the above fails, do or die, Oklahoma to Colorado

Do or die, Utah to Nevada

If the above fails, stop and await further orders

Attack Nevada to Idaho. Stop when Marokai is reduced to 2 battalions; unless when this occurs I am attacking with 4 or more, in which case attack do or die, Nevada-Idaho-Washington.

Diplomacy
To President Gustaf Ikea of the Confederate States of America:
Heck, I'll extend a friendly offer: barbecue and beers in Crawford, mending fences broken by preemption!

Tactical Move
Await further orders

BK: Whenever you stop, please show a 'current map'. Helps me to visualize the situation

[Vosem]

Oh, and I forgot -- I would like to formally declare the formation of the Great Socialist People's Western American Jamahiriya, with myself as the Leader and Guide of the Revolution.

A total of 2 battalions have been redeployed from Louisiana to Texas.

I hope Gustaf doesn't care about Kansas too much

Reinforcements
4 to Oklahoma
2 to Louisiana

Moves
Do or die, Oklahoma to Kansas

If anything up to here has failed, stop and await further orders

Tactical Move
Move any available battalions from Kansas to Oklahoma, then end turn.

[Vosem]

Junkie posted his orders...

[Vosem]

Gustaf, I want to introduce you to an alarming statistic.

Junkie has 6 battalions stationed on his border with you. I have 8. Jas has 15; that is, more than both of us combined.

Just sayin'.

[Vosem]

*ahem*

[Vosem]

Hopeful bump?

[Vosem]

I have two finals left, give me a few days

A few days have been given

[Vosem]

I always thought
That war was fun;
A week or two
And home I'd run...

[Vosem]

I'll put my 6 reinforcements in CO, and continually attack NM with just one battalion until I take it. Then I'll attack Utah until I have 3 (or less) battalions attacking, at which point I will retreat to CO, move any leftover troops to NM, and end turn.

[Vosem]

[Vosem]

Bumpity, badong chizzle.

[Vosem]

 yes. Though I'm losing.

[Vosem]

Ahaha this is still stickied
