Pax Pamir, Languish PBEM

[Berkut]

OK, I reloaded file 35, and am going to redo file 36 and delete the old 36 and 37.

1. Buy Jan for zero. That will make the political struggle cheaper for the next player, and push the topple down, and make Orchards cheaper.
2. Buy Afghan Handicrafts for 2. Rupees on Jews and Cossacks.

[Habbaku]

No rupees should go on the Cossacks--both rupees go on the Jews instead.

[Tamas]

No rupees should go on the Cossacks--both rupees go on the Jews instead.

I'll correct things according to Habbaku's anti-semite comment when I do my turn.

[Habbaku]

It's just how they are, you know?

[Tamas]

So, Habs, I think I'll just let the Topple move to the leftmost position for you to let it fall off without an effect. Any objections?

[Habbaku]

Nope, I figured that was the plan.  Certainly easier than trying to maneuver the Regime and such into a spot that Sol can't win on.

[Tamas]

1. Buy Pomegranta Orchards, get 1 rupee from it
2. Play Lapis Lazuli Mine, pay Orange 2 rupees, put Afghan roads to Kabul-Kandahar and Kabul-Herat

[Habbaku]

Action 1: Buy Mysorean Rockets from market for 4.
Action 2: Play Mysorean Rockets from hand.  Regime shifts to Economic Boom.  2 Russian armies to Punjab.
Free Action (Wheat Fields): Commerce.  Take 2 rupees from Bukharan Jews.
Free Action (Russo-Persian Trade): Commerce.  Take 1 rupee from Topple, 1 rupee from Charles Stoddart.

During cleanup phase, I'll lose Wheat Fields from my tableau.

Over to Solmyr.

[Solmyr]

The British do what they do best: engage in commerce, bribe local rulers, and prepare for arms race.

1. Play Anarkali Bazaar. Gain spy on card. Place British road Punjab-Kabul.
2. (free from Bolan Pass) Commerce to grab 2 rupees from the market.
3. (free from Anarkali Bazaar) Gifts to purchase one gift cube for 2 rupees.
4. (free from Farah Road) Commerce to take those 2 rupees back.
5. Purchase Cannon for 1 rupee.

Over to Cel.

[celedhring]

Can I execute two sets of free actions if I switch the regime in the middle of my turn?

[Berkut]

Yes

[celedhring]

The Orange Coconut tribe tries to improve its standing on the eyes of the British Raj, conducting a series of briberies and army deployments against the Afghan rebels, hoping that these actions will reach the ears of Lord Auckland. On that regard, Charles Stoddart is recruited as advisor.

Free) GIFT action (Nuristani Terrace Farms) paying 2 to the market.
1) Acquire Charles Stoddart for free from the bank, grabbing the 1 rupee on it
2) Play Charles Stoddart. Regime changes to Military Struggle
Free) Move the army in Herat to Persia, and remove 1 purple cube (Citadel of Ghazni)
Free) remove the second purple cube (William Hay MacNaghten). Abbas Mirza is discarded. Black now has the Afghan favor.

Is that correct? If I'm understanding correctly I can use a single red cylinder to attack twice the same location, triggering two cards with the campaign action.

[Berkut]

I think it looks correct, but I think you are forgetting that there are other players in the game than just purple.


Just because you CAN do something doesn't make it a good move.

[Tamas]

Seems like a perfectly valid move to give prominence to the true patriot, over the false one.

[celedhring]

Berkut is up, btw.
