I believe I should deploy 1 on E4, 1 on F1 and 1 on N9. Then I should fortify from E5 to E1.

Its unlimited forts, so think about:

Dropping one on N9, F1 and O4. then forting one from E5 to E1 and one to E4. this will give you 5 stacks of 4 instead of 3 stacks of 4 and one of 5. Just a thought.

[mkknyr]

Yes, I think that's good.

I believe I should deploy 1 on E4, 1 on F1 and 1 on N9. Then I will attack from E4 to E6 in preparation to move into A2. Then I will fortify from E1 to E5, with the intention of moving those troops into E4, although it's hard to tell what yellow will do in the coming turns in Europe.

[mpjh]

OK, those are good moves. Make it so.

[mkknyr]

In the middle of my turn. I lost 2 troops taking the 1 troop in E6. Have reinforced 2 to E4 and 1 to E6 to make it 3 in each. Should I reinforce all to E6 to make it 5? I'm afraid that if I leave them each weaker than yellow, then I'll be taken out this next turn and my work will be in vain.

Will wait to finish turn.

[wacicha]

yes E 6 or E4 all on one

[mkknyr]

Thanks wacicha. I went for E6 since I want to take A2 coming up.

deploy 2 to E6, 1 to F1. Take A2 from E6.

[wacicha]

Put two on N9 instead and take N5. Notice Red tried to take stef in Aussie and played nothing much in other areas - he will go for bonus --in aussie

Round: 4

Cards to turn in: S2, A10

Comments
Yellow is expanding in Europe and green stepped in to fortify on A2 after I was advised not to move in there last turn (there were only 2 troops there before). Red is likely going to try and take South America next turn for bonus, so I should probably put 1 or 2 troops in F1 to counter that move. I'm sure that yellow has his sights set on my position in E6. Should I move out to A3 or hold that ground?

Here is what I would do left to my own devices: deploy 1 -> F1. Deploy 2 -> N6. Attack N7 from N6.

[mpjh]

OK, yellow is playing standard game for territory. So far so good.

I suggest you

deploy
2 E6
1 N5

attack
O3 soft attack - lose only 2 -- no advance

[mkknyr]

Did what you said, but why N instead of F?

[mpjh]

If yellow does go bizzaro on you, you need a strong stack in Ns.

Yellow missed his turn last round, so he did not move in Europe, but he may do so double-fold this round. Red has taken South America. I think I should put 1 in N6, 2 in F1 and get a card from attacking from F1 to F4 (without advancing).

[mkknyr]

10 hours until round is over... 4-5 hours before I go to bed :-/

[mkknyr]

My move was 2 to N6, 1 to F1... attack N7 from N6 and advance all troops.

[mpjh]

What colors are your cards?

[mkknyr]

I now have four cards: S2, A10, A5, A3. S2 is green, the others are red.

[wacicha]

Your looking set up well. Remember to post your game link on your comment. (easier for the teachers to get to your game.

[mkknyr]

I did. No one responded for my last turn and I waited as long as I could to play without missing the turn. The last posts were just an update.

Round: 6

Cards to turn in: FULL SET (worth 6): S2, A10, A5, A3

Comments
Red held South America after pink missed a turn. Green cashed in a set, eliminating my armies in Australia and taking the continent. Before this turn, I was sure that green was the weakest player and I was in a decent position to eliminate him, but now, that is not the case. I think I should deploy 1 to N7, 1 to F1 and 1 to E6 and hold my position until my cards are worth more.

[mpjh]

OK, this is a tough one. You have a lot of bonus monkeys in the game. Yellow is going for the Es, and you are the target. I suggest you cash in to fortify.

deploy
4 E6
4 N5
1 N7

attack
N8 - soft attack - lose only 2 - no advance

Round: 7

Cards to turn in:: S2, N8

Comments:
One player has begun to work on my stack in Europe, decreasing it from 11 to 9. I think that player was green in A2, since his stack decreased the same amount as mine. I think cyan might be my best chance to take out a player first. So, I should put 2 in F1, 1 in E6 and take A3 w/o advancing for the card.

[mpjh]

OK, you have 3 bonus monkeys in this game, and yellow seems immune from attack. Green is an idiot. Red is dangerous. It is a tough game. You want green, but you don't want yellow to get the Es, so I suggest you deploy

2 E6
1 F1

attach
A3 - soft - lose only 2 - no advance

Hopefully you get a set and can move out of the Es toward Green next turn.
