Sorry, been very busy the last couple of days!

All three reinforcements in Texas. Attack Oklahoma from Texas. Stop the attack if at any point the attacking force has less than four more armies than the defending force. If the attack succeeds, move everyone to OK.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I'm rooting for Gustaf and Mikado just to see what an epic final showdown between just the two of them would look like.

[Gustaf]

I'd like to preface by saying that I appreciate Marokai's support.

1 in North Dakota
1 in Nebraska
1 in Maine

Attack Maine->New Hampshire
->Massachusetts
->Connecticut
->New York

Then end turn. Stop and await further orders if I get to below 3 attacking.

[The Mikado]

1 in North Dakota

Gustaf!    I thought we were going to try to get along this time!  This aggression will not stand, man!

This is me trying my hardest.

But since no one else seems interested in being anything other than doormats for you, I thought I'd give you a wee bit of a challenge at least.

Now we get to find out if Lewis chose to throw away six units on NJ just as a roadblock.

Lewis has a tough fight ahead of him.  Minnesota is necessary for his region, but it'll be a tough nut to crack.  How will he deal with this?

Lewis is in a bit of a jam but Teddy is by far in the worst position. At this point Teddy serves as more of a roadblock than someone who stands a realistic chance because he doesn't have the strength to maintain any region for himself. It's entirely possible he could get into a back and forth in the area he's in for awhile but from my perspective, Teddy will just be sparring desperately until he's slowly ground away between you and BK.

It's really just a question of who's willing to dedicate the resources to actually getting rid of him. He may not stand a great chance of winning at the moment, but he certainly can do some damage before going down. Who wants to weaken themselves like that?

Reinforce Illinois.

Attack Illinois-Wisconsin, moving all troops.
Attack Kentucky-Missouri do or die, moving (if I have a choice, ie I don't lose a unit) only three units to Missouri.
Attack Ohio-Indiana do or die.
Tactically move all available units from Indiana back to Ohio.
End turn. Minnesota and Michigan are FF states that do not require liberation.
