Majumbo posted:Build an Army! Rally in MA and then turn some of those Militia into Continentals I agree. But: Friends, companions, patriots, I think it's time to think bigger! Rally in Conn, Mass, NYC, Savannah, Penn, and Boston; pull in one Militia from NY and one from New Hamp, convert 2 Militia in Mass to another fort, and then convert all but one Militia in Mass to Continentals? Then Persuasion in Conn, New Hamp, and Penn? This'll leave us with two Forts, four Continentals, and a Militia in Mass: a stronghold indeed, and a good staging ground from which to harass Boston and New York. It'll also only cost us three resources total because of the Persuasion, and leave us in a good position to Rabble Rouse in many places.

Patriots Rally in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York City, Savannah, Pennsylvania, and Boston! Connecticut is now Controlled by the Rebellion! Savannah is now Neutral! Pennsylvania is now Controlled by the Rebellion! Note: You can't move militia and place a fort in the same turn, so I chose to do the Fort in Massachusetts -- please let me know if you would prefer it the other way, Patriots. A Fort is built in Massachusetts, and all but 1 Militia there train to become Continentals! The Patriots spend 6 resources; now 2. Patriots conduct Persuasion in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania! A Militia in each space is activated, and Propaganda is spread by Patrick Henry, James Swan, and Oliver Wolcott! Patriots gain 3 resources; now 5. The Patriot turn ends, and a new card is drawn. Current Card:  "We desire you will hear and receive what we have now told you, and that you will open a good ear and listen to what we are now going to say. This is a family quarrel between us and Old England. You Indians are not concerned in it. We don’t wish you to take up the hatchet against the king’s troops. We desire you to remain at home, and not join on either side, but keep the hatchet buried deep." —The Second Continental Congress, Speech to the Six Nations, July 13, 1775 Upcoming Card:  At the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge February 27, 1776, Patriot forces defeated the British. The victory ended British authority in North Carolina. Within two months of the American victory, North Carolina became the first colony to vote in favor of independence from Britain.  ==> ACTION QUEUE: Me: Take the Indian turn.

Congress' approval rating among the Indians is very low. Indians take the Event! One War Party is placed in Maryland-Delaware. One War Party is placed in North Carolina. The final remaining War Party is placed in Northwest. The Indians go on the War Path in Maryland-Delaware! The Patriot Militia there is killed! CRC does not increase for Militia kills. The Indian turn finishes; French are up.  ==> ACTION QUEUE: French choose:

Anyway, I vote we do the exact same thing as last turn. FAM to place one continental in New Hampshire, PLG to dump more french troops to available.

And now that I look at it, shouldn't the French Prep marker be at 13? There's two British casualties, pushing that marker up a couple notches.

What about moving a squadron to the West Indies instead? Having blockade ability when France goes to war will be nice.

Well, that means two turns before TOA is eligible, however putting French troops in available means we can play it the next time we're up, getting us in the war a turn or two sooner.

The French mobilize! One Continental is placed in New Hampshire. The French use Préparer la Guerre to move 3 French Regulars to Available; now 14. French Prep increases to 16; the French may now play the Treaty of Alliance! NB: I'll give a little bit of lead time in the future on new cards that Pats/French are eligible for, so you guys can choose to use ToA or another trump card if you want. Just yell at me to hold up before I play if you guys want to talk it out first. The turn ends, and a new card is drawn. Current Card:  At the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge February 27, 1776, Patriot forces defeated the British. The victory ended British authority in North Carolina. Within two months of the American victory, North Carolina became the first colony to vote in favor of independence from Britain. Upcoming Card:  The sinking of the HMS Russian Merchant (a 243-ton British merchant) off the coast of South Carolina lost thousands of muskets that were intended to arm Tories.  ==> ACTION QUEUE: Me: Take the British turn.

The British choose to March! Four Regulars and two Tories from New York Colony move to Massachusetts! Two Regulars and two Tories from Philadelphia move to Massachusetts! Massachusetts is now Controlled by the British! The Patriot Militia in Massachusetts is activated! One Militia and one Tory from Charles Town move to Savannah. Savannah is now Controlled by the British! The British spend 2 resources; now 0. The British apply Naval Pressure! The British roll 1d3=1 to gain 1 resource; now 1. The British turn is finished, and play passes to the Patriots.  ==> ACTION QUEUE: Patriots choose:

Mass or Boston could be had without any battles and dice involved though. (The piece limit is why the French were placing Continentals the past two turns)

I'm for taking the Event to remove every Tory and place 5 Militia: 4 from available and 1 from New Hamp (the active one). We'll then soon be able to make a Continental army to fear.

The Patriots take the event! 4 Tories in Massachusetts are moved to Available, and 4 Militia are added there! Component limit! One Militia from New Hampshire is removed from the map and re-placed in Massachusetts! Massachusetts is now Controlled by the Rebellion! The turn ends, and a new card is drawn. Current Card:  The sinking of the HMS Russian Merchant (a 243-ton British merchant) off the coast of South Carolina lost thousands of muskets that were intended to arm Tories. Upcoming Card:  The Reprisal commanded by Captain Wickes was the first vessel of the Continental navy to arrive in European waters, although probably several privateers preceded her. The Reprisal's prizes taken on the passage over and brought into Nantes were likely the first American captures sent into French ports.  ==> ACTION QUEUE: Me: Take the Indian turn after a brief pause for potential ToA.

Oui, Treaty of Alliance s'il vous plait. We need in on this conflict. I assume our allies will probably take the next event, considering how helpful it will be for blockading the filthy Brits.

Question time: can the "Before TOA" actions be done AFTER the TOA? That is to say, can you still Mobilize squadrons from unavailable to the West Indies after the TOA?

COOL CORN posted:Question time: can the "Before TOA" actions be done AFTER the TOA? That is to say, can you still Mobilize squadrons from unavailable to the West Indies after the TOA? No, you can no longer do the Before ToA actions after the ToA has been played. However, that doesn't prevent moving squadrons to the West Indies -- you'd just use Préparer la Guerre for that, since it isn't restricted. The only thing the French are prevented from doing after ToA is French Agent Mobilization, which adds Patriot Militia or Continentals. And Tias, the link Corn posted is probably your best bet (and hey, new version of it  ), but for another rundown the French get to, after the ToA:

How do the French gently caress with levels of support? E: I guess they don't. Hey patriots, get us half of our cumulative victory conditions, ok? We will try really hard to kill the British in the mean time. Dr. Lunchables fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Naval Pressure seems to remove support for one city, with the added bonus of denying the brits transportation by sea. Should we do that next?

Yeah, and Philadelphia's got three connections, so I think we should blockade that. As a general, I think we should blockade a second city, then throw one in the West Indies.

So how would the French like to use the ToA? For reference, it states: "French free Muster and place Rochambeau there. Raise FNI 1 level. Place 3 French and 3 British Regulars first from Unavailable then, if necessary, from Available in West Indies. May trump any Brilliant Stroke. All Factions to Eligible."

Sorry about the delay.  The French enter the war! The current event is canceled! Four Regulars are placed in New Hampshire, and Rochambeau accompanies them. French may choose to replace 2 French Regulars with a Patriot fort and make Patriots pay 1 Resource. The West Indies are now in play! Three French Regulars and three British Regulars are dispatched to the West Indies. NB: Blockades can't happen and FNI can't increase, because no French squadrons were moved to Available. The ToA has been signed, and the turn ends. All factions are set to Eligible. Current Card:  The Reprisal commanded by Captain Wickes was the first vessel of the Continental navy to arrive in European waters, although probably several privateers preceded her. The Reprisal's prizes taken on the passage over and brought into Nantes were likely the first American captures sent into French ports. Upcoming Card:  The Declaration of Independence lists "repeated injuries and usurpations" against the colonialists on behalf of King George III of Great Britain. The second paragraph concludes, "To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world," before 27 sentences listing various transgressions from tax complaints to forced military conscription. The last of these complaints reads: "He has ...endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."  ==> ACTION QUEUE: French choose:
