Not if he continues to roll dice like that last turn.

This is getting really confusing.  I think Fezzy's winning but I've completely lost track of how many cards everyone has.

It might behoove Fezzy to destroy the Eastern half of Ernest this turn, because Ernest is no longer weak enough that Sensei could finish him off, and not having other forces would force him to just burrow into Sensei.

Sensei is in a rough position.  Two front war.  However, his troops have been faring well.

Ernest needs to have a good turn with the dice and reassert himself in the West.

If 3 battalions remain in Oregon after taking Washington, then tactical move 1 battalion Arizona to Nevada.

If Washington hasn't been taken, attack do or die Arizona to Utah, and await further orders.

Since we're not allowed to comment anymore I'll just note that my head exploded.

Fezzy's victory seems more and more likely, but it's really not over yet...although for Sensei to win, he's going to need to be a lot more aggressive and stop fighting a two-front war.

[Joe Republic]

Since we're not allowed to comment anymore I'll just note that my head exploded.

Of course you're allowed to comment.  What I hope to avoid from everybody, however, are direct attacks on players.  The only kind of attacks I tolerate are those between the players themselves in the second phase of each turn.

Yes, but with my head exploding those were the only kind of comments that would come out.

[Sensei]

Damn. How stupid could I possibly be.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Damn. How stupid could I possibly be.

Given how you chose to alienate me by taking away my Pacific bonus despite the fact I left you the Plains bonus last turn, I wonder about that as well.

[The Mikado]

Don't beat yourself up too harshly, Sensei.  You just have two armies plowing into you from either side, while each of them only has one opponent.  You are at a serious tactical disadvantage, and that's not totally your fault.
