Joined a standard game. In a bit of a bind and want to get out of it with troops intact!

Blue wants to remove me from NA. I'm sure Green would like to see the back of me in SA - I would like to get out of there too, to encourage Blue and Green to start sniping at each other, along with Yellow from Europe!

I can take out Blue in Venezuela and get some of my troops out of NA, or consolidate all troops in NA in one spot. I'm thinking I should deploy CA, attack Ven, get as many out as I can and fort EUS to CA. This will be quite inflammatory towards Green who is weak and eyeing off SA.

deploy on e usa hit ontario but stay on e usa and fort CA to e usa

Interesting move. Is that designed to draw Blue out of Venezuela into NA? Potentially giving me an exit through SA without losing many troops.

best way to group your guys with not to much loss

Frustrating game. I have lost both my large armies in NA and SA due to the opponents their getting scared and wiping them out for the sake of their continents.

I'm trying to play this partially like a Terminator game, is this the best strategy? At the same time, I have tried to maintain a stronghold in Northern Asia, ready to wipe out Red and Green. My intention was to wipe out Green before he traded, but I lost all my armies in America.

Looking for an effective way forward now.
- I could deploy in NA and keep fighting Blue to maintain a presence here. Problem is Yellow is getting strong at everyone's expense, so I would rather leave Blue to get America and then he can start fighting Yellow in Europe.
- Build strength in Africa which no one wants (red missed a turn). This way I have good board position to wipe out anyone. Deploy 3 on East Africa, take Egypt, stay in East Africa, fortify Irkutsk to Yakutsk (ready to attack Siberia soon).
- Trade now, wipe out Red. Otherwise Yellow may wipe him out next turn. Set up to wipe out Green or Blue soon.

Trade now deploy all on ontario take a card by hitting w usa. Only one other person can trade this round so gives you a chance to get another trade in .3 rounds Fort kam to irk next turn irk to mongolia

It's now 1 on 1 and we are evenly balanced, slight advantage to me perhaps. Both have 4 cards.

Any advice on how to gain an advantage in this situation?

Edit: I am able to trade for 25, with 2 bonus on Iceland
