i have no idea if you are green or purple, but i'd put all in India/China, first order full on India/China. than move out, Ant/SA first, you can always counter russian arrea through Iran, and Asia has better expansion chances than West.

CheekyChicken : I will give the link later, don't want to influence the responses.

Edit:
Brain : I'm purple. But I guess there is no difference.
Or not?

Am I purple? Attack in SEA with everything first move. I choose to attack in 1 place with everything because attacking neutrals is so lame (myhand) and attacking green in 2 places gives him use of 8 (4 from 2 territories) defenders rather than 4. I choose SEA because it is the smallest bonus, and i will be completing the bonus i move into while under pressure on at least 1 other front.

Dead piggy or Brisk's options are the best in my opinion. I would pick Piggy's over Brisk's but the difference in those two is how the opponent plays. They are both much better options than any of the others in my opinion.

was there any differemce between mine and piggy's option? ;)

Heh, didn't even see that. Piggy's wording was better so his option is better :) Jk, I just didn't read through your option thoroughly.

are you the real jay or do you happen to be his uncle, brother, dad, nephew, son or grandpa?

I'm the real JSA(JSA 2 is i mean), just can't play games with 3 day or less autoboot currently because I am not on that often. Someone else is taking over this account for a time, while I will play a few games on the other one to stay fresh.

Give up one and clear another. The least valuable is Scand/Russia. The most valuable is China/India. If you think the enemy will also assess the situation this way, maybe hit the enemy with 1 in Russia/Scand to have a minimal delay (and with luck kill 1 enemy army on your attack). Attack full in China/India.

Though who you are matters. If you clear an area that flows into a 3 bonus, it is more valuable than attacking into and clearing the enemy from a 4 bonus. That extra turn needed to deploy and take a 4 bonus (1 extra territory to attack before completing the bonus) might lead to your being cleared elsewhere. Whoever gets a 3 bonus first has the best chance of winning (if it can be used to clear the enemy from a second area before he gets his first bonus), especially if it is India.

i would deploi +2 +2 +1 and sit. likely opponent will start to attack me or waste troup in neutral.

Why deploy a +1? it wont stop an attack of 8 eliminating you from an area. And 8v6 is usually better for the attacker.

Wouldnt +3 +2 and sit be better?

Thats why i said +2 +2 +1 and attack with the +1.
It minimizes the risk of elemination, gets the card and maximizes the chance of an opponent mistake.

How about a round robin is set up; every game with this exact scenario. Would be a nice way to find the most effective tactic.

if your opponent deploys all in one place and attacks you, he will have a big army advantage, and most likely will eliminate you from one spot in the 2nd turn.

I think card pieces arent going to be so important. Youre both going to miss at least 1 before the first card and a game like this will be decided before turn 6 when you play the card. I like Qi idea of a delay by attacking with 1.

i set up the RR

Since my invite list is broken i cant invite the neccessary people except for Qi.
So we have to wait for Qi to invite every contributor of this thread

Is everyone going to play the moves they advocated in the thread? If not this is going to be an ugly meta-fest.

Id be interested in playing something that is not just an ugly meta-fest.

We all message a host our precise 1st turn play(both colors), and we must use this play for every game. Something like that.

I can consider the tournament as a lobby and give out alt accounts for the real one.
Or I could be the referee and check if everybody does what he is supposed to.

Using alt accounts is pointless because after the first game you play finishes they can see what you did.

Anyway I think that this wont work for some players becuase my post earlier was concerning what wid should do, whereas I think that Dom's move should be very different.

Maybe if in the tournament, before you start it everyone who joins has to post their exact moves as Wid and exact moves as Dom, and after first move the opponent's check what the other person said they would do and make sure it matches what they did.

btw please invite me if you are going to make it quite a few people :)
