That's a nice drop. Red is distributing, so you don't have to worry that he will take Aus or SA, and you can deploy there if you'd like. I'd put one in Africa and consolidate your forces in NA (onto N4).

Ok my turn has begun. I noticed a tip above but didn't read it yet as I want to see if what I'm thinking matches. Everyone appears to be well placed. I see Blue has already created some big groups. I'm thinking of deploying one troop on N4 and two troops on F3. The two troops on F3 are because Asia looks like it is going to see some action and maybe I can clean up afterwards. I can fort from N7 to N4 and next turn take an easy card from yellow.

Pretty good. However, I would deploy 2 to A6 and 1 to F3. (You want A1 later if you can get it.) Fortify N7 to N4. Then sit tight.

I'm thinking deploy 2 on A6, 1 on N4. Attack from N4 to N9 for easy card. I suggest N9 for the card as most likely that will leave N5 for an easy card next turn.

OK, you should consider that building armies is you immediate task. I suggest deploying 2 to N4 and 1 to A6. Do not attack, sit tight for the next turn.

I only have 3 terts left and it looks like Yellow wants Australia. I'm thinking of deploying 2 troops on N4, one on F3. I think I should attack this turn for an easy card @ N5.

OK, I would be a little more desperate. I would deploy 3 on F3 and take A1 (so long as you don't lose more than 2) and advance to A1.

1 Troop on N4, 2 on A1. Attack N4 - N7 as long as I don`t loose more then 2 armies. Next turn we should start to see more definition on the map. Perhaps someone will be weak for a take out.

Yes, this is infurior acting wild again. Do you know this guy? He sure seems to be targeting you. He has taken out your third spot in two games now, and not really strengthening himself.

As Wacicha said, don't lose more than 1 man in your attack.

Yeah. I see that. I have no idea who this guy is.. I'll check my game record to see if I have ever played him before.

I think another wait is in turn. I think I should deploy 1 on A1, 2 on N4 then attack N4-N6 max lost 2 troops. I may have a cash soon and Yellow may take out orange in Australia. If that happens I may be able to take out orange soon.

Thought that might happen. It seems that when the men are low the dice are worse. I KNOW that is not true but that is why we teach patience.


Let the others kill themselves.

Well, it looks like orange is competing with me for weakest player. Perhaps they won't be around next turn. I really don't like that Green 16 sitting above my A1. Hmm.. I'm thinking 2 troops on N4 1 on A1 the assault A1-A6 and hopefully win a card this time.

Exactly what I thought when I looked at the map. This leaves you open to get orange if the opportunity presents itself.

Orange has been eliminated. I think I may be the next target. Blue is the only guaranteed card cash in and I am isolated a bit by being in N and A. Green is ready to move I think. Red is going to battle with Yellow in Australia. I think I should deploy 1 on N4, 2 on A1 and attack from A1 to A6 but stay on A1.

Yes, but don't attack A6 that opens ups red to get you easier. Leave A6 and go for a different easy card.
