GENERALS [1]  The Mikado [2]  Jas [3]  Fezzyfestoon [4]  Gustaf [5]  Bacon King [6]  Marokai Blue

Jas: it is your turn.  You have 3 reinforcements.


+ [6 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [No regions controlled]

= 3 reinforcements

[Јas]

May Joe, creator of our universe, have mercy on my soul - I know only to well what I now endeavour to do.

I submit my cards as below, for the recruitment of more men to my cause.




These men, and such other reinforcements as I may be worthy to gain, should all be stationed in Massachussets.

As to assault orders,
1. My Minnesota troops should proceed to directly to Mt Rushmore, South Dakota.

2. My Commonwealth of Massachussets brigade should make a northern assault via Vermont and New Hampshire to Maine.

3. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania company should proceed to fire upon New Jersey. Having no wish to labour therein for long, they should be directed onward to Delaware post haste.

All survivors of the northern assault should be re-billeted from Maine to the great State of New Hampshire - where my campaign first began and from whence we shall renew our grand adventure.

Tradin' in some cards!



So there's the two bonus that go into Indiana since I control it, yes?

Besides that, I will spend my 14 reinforcements like so:

5 in MO
3 in WI
2 in OH
2 in KY
2 in IA

Attack WI-MN, free move IN-KY, and end turn.

New round, new card maths.

I have one card, everyone else has four.

With there being 14 of each card type not turned in as well as the presumably two wild cards, and assuming every player that had a 10 army set (with a chance to turn it in!) turned cards in last turn-

Jas has a 70.1% chance of having a set to turn in.
(52.8% chance for a 10 army set, 5.7% chance for each of 8, 6, 4 army sets)
Mikado, Fezzy, and Gustaf each have an 80.5% chance of having a set to turn in.
(28% for a 10 army set, 17.5% for each of 8, 6, 4 army sets)


Basically Jas has a potentially huge advantage here if he got lucky with the cards he picked up from MB. And I feel suddenly I am in a very precarious position from all sides


In addition, just for fun, here are the odds that each card a given player has is currently a state controlled by that player:

Mikado: 14%
Jas: 16%
Fezzy: 14%
Gustaf: 20%
Bacon King: 20%

[Јas]

Basically Jas has a potentially huge advantage here if he got lucky with the cards he picked up from MB. And I feel suddenly I am in a very precarious position from all sides

I don't think I've got much by way of advantage at all - I'm the only player without a region
and have fewer troops than anyone other than fezzy.

I'd happily swap positions with yourself, Mikado or Gustaf.

Eh, I have a pretty bad suspicion that I'm going to be the next one to go. Being stuck right in the middle of everything is not a good place to be.

Well, I'm obviously not going anywhere anytime soon - fezzy has apparently given up on the South and is putting all his eggs in the Northeast. Whichever of us lives will likely be crippled.

Plus Mikado, either fearing Gustaf or sensing weakness, seems to have decided that that may be the direction to go in as well.

If Gustaf takes and holds the Plains states, then yeah you're in trouble, but then if that happens, it would probably require poor luck with the dice and cards for him not to win outright.

Anyway, if you can convinvce Joe to substitute our commands, I'm game

[The Mikado]

2 on Virginia, rest on Mississippi

Mississippi-Louisiana, split troops evenly between them.

If it's an uneven number, which state gets the extra one?

Memo to General fezzy - when plotting against a fellow General, it's best not to accidentally send him your proposals, rather than the intended co-conspirator!

All reinforcements to New Hampshire.
Attack Delaware - Maryland, do or die.
Free move the Marylanders to Pennsylvania.
