Go big or go home

1 reinforcement on Utah, invade Idaho.

2 reinforcements on Nevada, take Arizona then go for California.

That works, right? I think my family always played by slightly different rules. Lets see what that creates.

This has been quite the remarkable round.


Before that I thought you had a fair chance to reestablish yourself as a Pacific power...

FWIW, I offered Marokai a deal that would have gotten him through this round and probably next round, but he took this route instead.

I was tempted to, but if I had taken that route I'd had to have removed BK from the Pacific, which would've probably left me wide open and with practically no additional forces anywhere. Hell, I just lost 5 soldiers trying to take one of your smaller territories; there's no guarantee I would've been able to take out BK at all considering my luck.

Mainly, though, I was concerned I would be immediately wiped out if anyone started getting card combos. I figured I may as well try for whatever impact I could make this turn and call it quits. My position was pretty doomed from the second Vosem's soldiers apparently started drinking Felix Felicis, anyway.

All in OR, OR-CA do or die

if that works, free move two WA-OR and end turn

if that doesn't work, attack WA-ID do or die, free move if possible ID-OR and end turn

Not the move I would have done.  BK needs to take a RISK and try to knock out Marokai. In his place, I'd put all the reinforcements on WA and do-or-die WA-ID-NV-CA. (Alternatively, 2 on OR and 1 on WA and do-or-die OR-CA and WA-ID.  This has the advantage of attacking one less state, but the divided forces gives two possible points of failure.  Doing the grand path has a 78% chance of success while the divided forces has a 72% chance of success.  But if one does the divided forces, I'd think one would want them in a position to oppose Vosem, hence the choice of giving WA 3 attackers and OR 2 instead of what BK chose.)

You're trying to keep him alive, yet you're attacking him? If you take CA or ID, there's almost no way he survives as either Hagrid or Franzl will go after the other state to get his cards.

If you were trying to keep him alive, I'd think you'd do either OR-NV, MT-WY, or ND-SD, with ND-SD being the best choice if you're hoping to work with both Marokai and Tim, since that leaves Marokai with a ID-WY attack.    Even if you feel you must attack Marokai to save him, all in WA for a WA-ID-WY would be better since Franzl has no realistic chance at CA if you have a blocking force in WY, altho Hagrid would still be likely to succeed with TX-NM-AZ-CA.

Yeah, I wasn't criticizing, I genuinely meant it was interesting. Taking out Marokai makes you a prime target for destruction. Now you make sure he's the target instead. I also see another advantage but I won't say that one out loud. Tongue

Please deploy as follows...

2 in Tennessee
1 in Texas

Please attack Texas to Arkansas to Mississippi, moving the maximum number of troops each time. If anything along this line of attack fails, stop and await further orders. If it's successful, attack Alabama from Tennessee. I want you rolling with the highest number of dice possible, but if I win, I want you to move the lowest number of armies possible into Alabama.

Refortify by moving four armies from North Carolina to Tennessee. End turn.

Thanks!
