Bay 12 Games Forum

(A-a-a-action Redux!)
The Duke paced around his central office pondering a dilemma. With the destruction of Verona the coffers are now losing gold but the people are asking for an expanded military to beat back the raiders. Coming to a tough decision, he sits down and starts writing some letters.
Use 2 PC to increase might by 2.
Send a letter to the King of Primeria asking if they would like to make a defensive alliance in case the Jarls come down to raid us.
Edit: I also use my 4 unassigned Influence to increase the clout of the Technocrats by 1.
(I would still like to know exactly how much Influence is needed to make an AI nation friendlier to me.)

D.F. becomes an army sim. Fortress mode is removed from it to cut down on size.

I wish I could understand why anyone was mad whenever I wanted to.

Here's my proposal.

Great Socialist Republic of Texas     7 Econ 1 Money 7 Mili 1 Nuke 3 Spy
Trenchcoat Monarchy of Panspacia      7 Econ 1 Money 7 Mili 1 Nuke 3 Spy
Socialist States of Southern Slavia   7 Econ 1 Money 7 Mili 1 Nuke 3 Spy
Eurocorp                              9 Econ 2 Money 1 Mili 0 Nuke 1 Spy

Thank god, voice of reason.  I guess I'd consent to that, if I got all of my countries and Econ back.  The nukes, military, and spies mean nothing to me

Yeah, I'll go all in.

That's the rub isn't it?
Thing is, There is most definitely going to be a catastrophe, and no one is getting out of this in as good of a condition they came in in.

By the way, why is the Bureaucracy so unstable?
Just feels a bit off to me.

Well, I'll spread around the countries a bit and alter stuff due to new bets.
And guys, with that forced bid you're going to be putting EVERYTHING in if you don't fold.
-New Proposal-
PFDRSD: 4 Countries, 2 Militaries, 1 Spy
Texas: 3 Countries, 2 Economies
Panspacia: 2 Countries, 4 Militaries, 1 Spy
Slavia: 2 Countries, 5 Economies, 2 Spies
Friegard: 2 Countries, 2 Militaries, 1 Spy
Eurocorp: 7 Countries, 5 Economies, 1 Nuke
or if GWG is allowed to unfold
PFDRSD: 4 Countries, 2 Militaries, 1 Spy
Wyoming: 1 Country, 2 Spies
Texas: 3 Countries, 2 Economies
Panspacia: 2 Countries, 4 Militaries, 1 Spy
Slavia: 2 Countries, 5 Economies
Friegard: 2 Countries, 2 Militaries, 1 Spy
Eurocorp: 6 Countries, 5 Economies, 1 Nuke
By the way, I will make due on my threat if I see one more post disagreeing with the proposal.

(Really? Didn't see anything in the rules about that. If that's really the case I build those things before making the bet.
Also is that a fold-fold where I have to remake my proposal or are you staying in?
Because if you're not folding I'm not budging. It's that proposal or everyone in dies.)
Edit: Thanks for the rule clarifaction

Unnacceptable! I will not pull back and allow you to profit from what is rightfully mine. I will fold with what i came in with and no less.

What you came in with would mean that others lose due to the nature of military bids.

I will not allow you to try to strongarm the monarchy of panspacia. Be prepared to meet the entirety of my forces if you attempt this.

Having you bring out the entirety of your forces is the whole point of a forced bid. No matter what you will not gain back what you put in, all you can do now is choose how much you lose. You can accept and regain some losses, fold and lose nothing else, or reject and lose everything.

I'm gonna start with that on my turn unless Ghazkul makes a forced bet or something like that.
