Not happy with my colour or the deal but what can you do???? I think I should put one troop in each of the following:
N3, F6 and O1

No attack

Fort 2 from N6 to N3

[dhallmeyer]

I like your deployment, but go ahead and fort everything to your big spots--O1 and N3. this way you might not get into a fight for aussie.

I think I should do the following:

Deploy
N3 1
F6 1
O1 1

Attack
N2 from N3, losing no morethan 2

Fort
none

[mpjh]

OK, you are real weak in the Es and As. You have to move out of Os soon. For now, I suggest you,

deploy
3 F6

no attack

fortify
all Ns to N7

[notyou2]

I have done as you recommended.

Just a question, I am concerned about my position in Oz. I do not wish to fight for it and would rather I didnt have any lands there, but such is life. I think I may wish to fight to leave it. I am going to watch red and if red forts out of A7, I think I should take that opportunity to abandon Oz.

I would like to know your thoughts on this issue.

[mpjh]

Yes, you do want to get out. There are two choices now, either put 3 on Q1 and attack A7 or put 3 on F6 and attack F3 getting you closer to A1.

I recommend the latter - soft - lose 2 - advance.

Yes that looks good but you will need to start building your troops in A7 more the next turns.

[katyrush]

I would deploy 2 on A1 and 1 on N7, then attack as suggested, but advance all. Remember N4 or N5 are the best spots to own in NA, so head for one of those.

[notyou2]

Done as suggested Katy, and thanks for the advice

I understand why you say N4 is one of the best lands in North America, but what is so special about N5?

[katyrush]

Same reason really. N4 is the best spot as accesses so many of the others. N5 accesses the second most areas, so will alow you to move around better when the time comes. If I can't get either of those, I tend to sit underneath with another small stack either above or just into Aisa that can then do the top half!

Hope that makes a bit of sense. It's the same with A1 and A2. A1 is the best, with A2 as second best!

[notyou2]

Yes it does make sense. Thank you.

[mpjh]

OK, your proposal is fine. I would have an urge to put 3 on A7 and not attack. I can't give a good reason for why that would be better than your move, except maybe for diversity defense and a gut feeling.

[notyou2]

I considered that too, but discarded it as I feel cyan would squash me and I would lose 4 armies. I then looked around for another spot but nothing except NA and that would be a waste to not put them in N9. So decided on what I previously wrote. If I had a land a bit away from others...kinda secluded, I would put them there.

[mpjh]

OK, good logic, make it so.

[notyou2]

Apparently I am starting to think like you folks, as you said everything that occurred to me. I think this game is a powder keg about to explode, I just hope the opening fragments don't take me out

[mpjh]

Yes, you are at the turning point in the game. Good luck.
