[Joe Republic]

In my mind, for some reason, I've always confused Colin and Supersoulty.  So I hope you can imagine how confusing that battle was for me.

[Joe Republic]

Oddly, I'm exactly the same with Jas and Yates.  That goes back to when they both had I-IA avatars and became active on the forum around the same time.

Now I know how a father of multiple twins must feel.

[Gabu]

Now I know how a father of multiple twins must feel.

As opposed to the father of a singular twin?

[Joe Republic]

Now I know how a father of multiple twins must feel.

As opposed to the father of a singular twin?

Or... more than one pair of twins.

[Colin]

Who's the evil twin, me or Soulty?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Who's the evil twin, me or Soulty?

It's got to be Soulty.

[12th Doctor]

Who's the evil twin, me or Soulty?

It's got to be Soulty.

I'm not evil, I'm just misunderstood.

[Gabu]

Who's the evil twin, me or Soulty?

It's got to be Soulty.

I'm not evil, I'm just misunderstood.

Oh, look at you, you're just plotting in the corner, telling the world that it will rue the day that it crossed you...

Who cares?  Just post your next orders. 

[Gustaf]

I'm done in the dominatino thread, Joe. In case you haven't noticed yet...

[Colin]

Well I don't think I have anything else to do.

End turn

New map:







General Lewis Trondheim, it is your turn.  You have 3 reinforcements.


+ [5 states ÷ 3 = Minimum 3 reinforcements]
+ [No regions held]
= 3 reinforcements

[minionofmidas]

I'd  sent you my orders by pm days ago, but whatever. They haven't changed. Reinforce Iowa, take Nebraska, return to Iowa.

[Joe Republic]

sh**t, sorry.  I've been distracted lately.  Give me a minute.

New map:







General Ernest, it is your turn.  You have 3 reinforcements.


+ [6 states ÷ 3 = Minimum 3 reinforcements]
+ [No regions held]
= 3 reinforcements

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Dang.  I'd hoped Lewis would have some cards to turn in.

Well at least I do.





That gives me 10 extra battalions as reinforcements.

Place all 13 in Kentucky, attacking so long as I have a 3:2 advantage along the path KY > OH > MI > WI, leaving 1 in KY and OH, and wait for orders in how many to advance into WI.

Not a great plan, but the only one I see that has a chance of keeping Soulty from winning this round if he has a card set to turn in.  Still might not keep the game going to the next round, depending on how this set of battles turn out and what Colin is able to do.

[12th Doctor]

Well... good show Ernest... I'm glad to see that you guys are good for something other than bitching.

[Gustaf]

He needs two more capitals still. I think I would have gambled on depriving him of the pacific. But it's a tough situation either way.

[minionofmidas]

I'd  sent you my orders by pm days ago, but whatever. They haven't changed. Reinforce Iowa, take Nebraska, return to Iowa.

sh**t, sorry.

Don't be.

I'd done that because I felt I might not be on much during the second half of the week, which has proved dead wrong anyways.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

He needs two more capitals still. I think I would have gambled on depriving him of the pacific. But it's a tough situation either way.

Yeah.  If I knew that Soulty didn't have a card set to turn in, I might have done that, but if he does, then I'd have needed some awful lucky roles to keep him from winning as he'd have been in an excellent position to take Colin's two capitals with a 10 battalion reinforcement placed in Ohio, and retaking Hawaii wouldn't be a significant challenge for his normal reinforcements unless I had much better than average rolls.

[Joe Republic]

Reinforcements

Three cards have been traded in, worth 10 extra battalions, which brings the total number of reinforcements to 13.
