Oh yeah, if WI-MN fails but Teddy has only one unit left in MN, attack it from Iowa.

Minnesota and Michigan are FF states that do not require liberation.

You said it, not me.

[minionofmidas]

I suppose so.

Oh well. Attack WI-MN do or die, moving only the minimum required to MN. Await further instructions if I fall below three attacking units.

Await further instructions if I fall below three attacking units.

I wasn't sure exactly how to interpret this, i.e. if you wanted to continue your attack run after the Minnesota invasion, or perform a tactical move etc., so I played it safe and will let you finish the turn.

[minionofmidas]

Yes, I meant for you to await further instructions either way, but interrupt the attack at such a point. Thanks!

'Kay. Make a further do-or-die attempt at subduing those pesky mittenheads, from Wisconsin this time. Irrespective of outcome, tacticalmove everybody available from PA to OH and end turn.

Well done for Lewis. Pretty good job of capturing and moving around defenses for that region.

Let's start off with five on Idaho.  Idaho-Montana, stop if I lose four people, wait for further instructions.

Attack Florida from Georgia - continue with as many dice as possible until Georgia is reduced to one batallion.

Await further instructions.

[Joe Republic]

continue with as many dice as possible until Georgia is reduced to one batallion.

Do you mean if Georgia has only one attacking batallion remaining, or one battalion in total remaining?

[homelycooking]

My orders are too verbose. I meant "DO OR DIE!"

But thanks for asking, Joe.

Risky move on not putting all his reinforcements into attacking Georgia. Going to hurt going another round without any bonus against the others that have already taken shape in their respective areas.
