RISK Domination VII: Finished!!

[minionofmidas]

Rest in Peace to those sturdy mountain men.

[Joe Republic]

It cost Bacon King twice as many of his own battalions to finally finish off the Kanawha "Fightin' Irish" Regiment.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I feel for you, Jas.

[Bacon King]

Sigh. Free move MD to PA and end turn.

[Joe Republic]

 
New map:

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

The Mikado: it is your turn.  You have 7 reinforcements.


+ [10 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [Southeast region = 4 reinforcements]

= 7 reinforcements

[The Mikado]

So, both Gustaf and Bacon King sent me strongly worded PMs telling me not to break their bonuses.

The Mikado is an agreeable soul, and will grant your request.

2 on Mississippi, 1 on Tennessee, 4 on Virginia.  Virginia-Maryland do or die, strategic move all units in Maryland to Virginia and end turn.  My Army of Northern Virginia is longing to see Gettysburg.

Delaware looks weird in that.

4 in Kansas

3 in North Dakota

Attack New Mexico against Texas, free move so there is an even number of troops between Oklahoma and Texas.

[Marokai Backbeat]

You guys should either break through Gustaf or give it up now. You won't have (rough) parity (combined of course) with him for much longer.

[The Mikado]

Bacon King has a big choice.  EVERYONE decided to leave his bonus alone, on whom will he use it?  Breaking me would be fairly easy, but I'm too big to kill and have 4 cards, so I may or may not have a set.  Fezzy's tempting, but is too big to easily wipe out and an unsuccessful go at Fezzy would be worse than useless.  Gustaf would be high-risk low-reward, as Fezzy and I could jump Bacon King the next turn.  All three of Bacon King's options are bad.  Nevertheless, what he chooses to do this turn will decide who wins the game.

[Gustaf]

I have 4 cards too. Just as an FYI...

[Bacon King]

Still deciding on what exactly to do. This is a very important turn, of course. Mikado's right in that while I probably can't win this, I'm basically picking who does win this. I probably won't send in my moves until after class tomorrow. Definitely gotta think about this.


Speaking of cards, though, let me go ahead and turn some in:

[Bacon King]

So, by my count I have 32 reinforcements plus a bonus 2 in PA.

Please distribute the 32 units as follows:

23 in PA
3 in KY
3 in WV
3 in MO

Attack MO-AR, place only 3 in AR.
Attack PA-NJ-NY-CT-RI-MA do or die and wait for further orders.

[fezzyfestoon]

BOO

[Bacon King]

BOO

Sorry fezzy

BUT ITS MOD GAEM NOW!

[The Mikado]

How many cards does Fezzy have, again?
