1 Plane to Red's Food Factory.
1 Plane to nearest Red R&D.
1 Plane to farthest Red R&D.
1 Plane to Green's R&D inhabited by a Blue Plane.

New Map, with eats!
Green Feeds 22 Labor Ubits with 5 Food leaving him 5.
Yellow feeds 5 Labor Units with his one Food and starves off the rest!
Blue feeds 25 Labor Units with his 5 Food starving off 4.
Red feeds 5 Labor Units with his one Food and starves off the rest!



Next turn! I start this turn by placing the 5 Labor Units that I have, as well as the 10 I earned retaking my Food Factory and Green's Oil Factory. I have no medical facilities. I also get 1 R&D commodity. The map above shows the placement of my units for turn 6. I am declaring a Food for my commodity.

Blue should now place 25 Labor Units + 5 Units for taking the Green Plane Factory + 1 for the Red Medical Facility he controls (31 Units in all). Blue will also need to declare 2 R&D commodities.

Then Red will place 5 units + 5 for retaking his Food Factory (10 total). He will also need to declare 4 free R&D commodities.

Green will place last. He gets 22 Labor Units + 5 for taking back his Plane Factory + 2 more for the Medical Facilities he controls in the land of Yellow. (29 total). He has no R&D to declare.

Blue, place your 31 units and declare your 2 commodities.

I would have done this late yesterday, but the BBS was offline again for about 8 hours last night. I hope this is not a trend!

Darius places his units. New map, with production:


Red, place your 10 Units and declare your 4 (!) free commodities.

4 on planes.
4 commodities - all oil.

[Chris]

Sorry this took me an extra half-day - had a virus problem this morning which has been resolved, but which restricted my ability to "work" on the machine all afternoon. Its been resolved satisfactorily, fear not.

Red has sublitted his allocation! New map:



Green... place your 29 units!

Trade markets are freezing and countries are beginning to take an isolationist stance towards necessities as world unrest continues. It is predicted that trading will come to a virtual standstill unless public treaties are signed among the warring powers quite soon. This reporter does not forsee an end to the violence in any potential scenario for the future.
I'm Hugh Betcha, reporting.
