Trade Wars - New Game Starting!

[Chris]

Ok... Red - any trades?
XXOOCC

[Kersus]

Nope. I twisted some arms, but to no avail. TradeWars? Too much trading to start, and too little later.

[Chris]

All right, Green, any trades (doubtful)... and I am standing pat as well...
If there are no trades mentioned before 12/9 I think we can consider that its Blue's move and attack phase.

Trading does tend to peter out near the end of the game... and we are approaching the end gang. Still each move in the game is highly critical right now...

So make them carefully.

It does not appear that Green has any trades.... so it is now officially Blues (Darius) move.

I should have done this yesterday. My apologies in that regard.

Ok, given the season, and the increase in distractions,I am going to assume that Red would attack the tanks at the Blue Oil Factory.

forgemeister rolls Red Plane Attacks Blue Tank (3d6): [6 + 6 + 6] = 18
Our first crit! Tank destroyed.

My move! (as Green can not move and has no combats)
2 Yellow Tanks move from the Yellow Tank Factory to the Green Plane Factory.
4 Yellow Tanks move from the Yellow Tank Factory to the neighboring Yellow Med Facility.
THat's 3 Oil.

...and then, of course, we eat! I have fed everyone that could be, and made adjustments on the board. End of turn board (new map):



and we are ready to start turn#8.
Red will start this turn by placing 5 Labor Units + 5 for the Green Food Factory + 5 for the Green Plane Factory for a total of
15 Labor Units

Then Green will put his 5 Labor Units in his Tank Factory (no other choice)
I will then place 15 Labor Units + 5 units for the Green Plane Factory + 1 Med facility for a total of
21 Labor Units

The Blue will place (last) 10 Labor Units + 5 for the Blue Plane Factory + 5 for the Green Plane Factory +3 for Medical Facilities for a total of
23 Labor Units.

Have at it Red!

This will be the last turn for Green (no food and no means for getting any), after which all Green units will vanish, and all of the Green territory will become a single square... so bear that in mind as you strategize for this turn!

Any units in Green territory will be in immediate combat with all opposing units that remain in the single square that Green becomes.

All bonuses from Med Facilities and R&D will be nulled.

Yikes... that's why I thought I would note all of the varied ramifications.

[Kersus]

12 to oil
2 to food
1 to planes

[Chris]

Red - let me know your 4 commodity choices when you can. I have placed my Labor Units as well:
10 in Oil
3 in Tanks
8 in Food, and 2 Food for my commodities.

New Map:


Blue - place your units and declare your 2 free commodities!

[Kersus]

All Red owned R&D facilities produce oil.
