+ [No regions controlled]

[The Mikado]

As I said before, I gambled the farm on knocking out Teddy and getting his cards, and I lost the farm.

Speaking of farms, 3 on Wyoming.

Take Nebraska, leave the minimum amount of troops in Nebraska, and move everything in Idaho to Wyoming and end turn, taking a card.

What is Gustaf planning on doing with those 21 armies in New York?  Is he waiting for either Lewis and/or Bacon King to come to them?

[homelycooking]

Sneak attack on Lewis via Ontario.

[Gustaf]

What is Gustaf planning on doing with those 21 armies in New York?  Is he waiting for either Lewis and/or Bacon King to come to them?

Well, it was a tradeoff between defense and offense. Since everyone is trying to ensure a Bacon King win and I can't take him on by myself anyway I'm waiting for second place.

*crosses fingers*

All in NM.
NM-CO-UT-WY-NE-SD-MT-ID-WA-OR do or die.
Cease attack and await new orders if it ever have too few troops to possibly make it to Oregon on that path.
Assuming that works, though, free move OK-TX and end turn.

[Bacon King]

Also, Joe, a thought just occurred to me. Would you like to play in the next game? If so I'd be perfectly fine with running it for everyone.

[minionofmidas]

Watch out, Joe! He's trying to usurp your authority! Give him only 1s 2s and 3s from here on!

+ [New England region = 3 reinforcements]

= 7 reinforcements

Also, Joe, a thought just occurred to me. Would you like to play in the next game? If so I'd be perfectly fine with running it for everyone.

Tempting.  I'll talk to you about it after this game is over.

[Gustaf]

So, I'd like to trade in this set:        

That should give me an additional 6 (+ 2 in Delaware).

Thus, 13 to place freely. I would like all of those in Kansas. Then attack Kansas->Oklahoma, do or die. Then follow that by attacking Arkansas from Oklahoma. Stop if the number of armies between the two states become equal. If I win put an euqal number in both states, if there is an odd number put the extra in Arkansas. Tactical move 2 armies from Delaware to Maryland.

I hope the dice gods realize that Bacon King is evil.   

[minionofmidas]

Pretty sure dice are traditionally viewed as in the devil's domain, so you want him to realize Bacon King is not evil.

Why didn't Gustaf take Mississippi and rob BK of his Southeast bonus?

[The Mikado]

Welp, good game, gents.

[Gustaf]

Why didn't Gustaf take Mississippi and rob BK of his Southeast bonus?

Because, hopefully, that's what Lewis will take care of now.

[minionofmidas]

Trading in WI, SC and PA for four extra units (plus two on WI). Place all in KY.
Attack ND-SD-NE-WY do or die.
Attack KY-TN do or die. If successful... well I'd have to draw up a very complex set of options depending on how many units survive... can I just decide that after the attack proper?
