I'll end my turn

[The Hip Historian Iaredios]

Turn over, your card is: Tren Krom Peninsula (One Star)

 

I honestly don't get it.

Turn over, your card is: Tren Krom Peninsula (One Star)

 

I honestly don't get it.

If you get enough cards you can trade them in for more armies.

[JAG18]

Turn over, no card awarded.

 

And with that round 3 is over; we have officially gone over the hump and are more than half-way through the game.  Now, we enter what I've always found to be the most critical round: round 4.  And amazingly the dice gods have decided that Scrubbish should start the round again.

 

Scrubbish, the world is unchanged since my last post.  First, how would you like to place your 3 new armies and then would you like to attack the EP Islands or end your turn? 

[Eiji Hino]

Place two on Keetongu's Island, one on the Right Island Chain, and turn in the one card I have.  Then attack the EP Island from Keetongu's.

(Sorry, TTL.  But if I'm gonna conquer the world, I gotta attack you.  It's nothing personal.)

[JAG18]

Stelt is only worth one star and you need at least two stars worth before you can start trading in for armies (see chart in lower left-hand corner of the map).

 

Anyway, armies placed.

Good show!  Scrubbish, would you like to attack the EP Island again? 

[Eiji Hino]

Yes.

[JAG18]

[Eiji Hino]

Attempt to attack the Southern Continent from the EP Island.

[ToaTImeLord]

Place two on Keetongu's Island, one on the Right Island Chain, and turn in the one card I have. Then attack the EP Island from Keetongu's.

Toru rolls: 4

 

4. Scrubbish (Kalmah) [First]

TTL you have 4 new armies to place this turn and you have three cards, which can be traded in for a total of 7 armies.  Where would you like to place them and then which territory would you like to attack?

[ToaTImeLord]

I like to trade in all my cards.

Put them all on my capital.

 

As Takadox I do the imaginable and attack my ally.

Attack the EP island from the capital!

 

(Sorry Lan I need the south competition free and sadly you are the competition. I hope there are no hard feelings over this buddy.)

[TERIDAX941]

You know, I'm this close to making a "no mercy" rule a thing.  Anyway, attacking again.

As someone who rarely shows mercy I am intrigued by this. What changes to the game would this rule achieve?

[ToaTImeLord]

Move 2 more armies into Keetongu's Island.

Then strike the right island chain.

 

(I'm so sorry Lan. This is purely a game move.)

[JAG18]

As someone who rarely shows mercy I am intrigued by this. What changes to the game would this rule achieve?

Just that if a player is attacking a territory with only one army left (and has a large numerical advantage) then I won't both asking if they want to attack again. 

 

Anyway armies moved and attacking the Right Island Chain.
