The War Continues
Ignore that smiley. i don't know why it's there.
On the subject of adding Louisiana as a wargoal, I don't actually have enough warscore to do so, and even if I did the US still has plenty of fight left in it. As evidenced by this...
and this.
I know for a fact that at least four of those fourteen US brigades are up north in Loa and at least two are in the army I sent packing at the end of the last update. Meaning there are up to twenty four thousand US soldiers running around somewhere.
I need more troops.
So I get them.
But they don't have the effect I'd hoped for...
That's slightly ridiculous, and
very embarrassing. The enemy does realise this is a fluke and so retreats. Leaving me to be attacked by their reserves.
Scared of little old me, are you?
Well, I'm sure as hell scared of you! They just mobilized
forty eight thousand men - nearly twice as much as my entire army!
I decide to respond by killing four thousand of them.
See! Anything you can do, I can do worse!
Mixed news continues though.
Okay, so I'm obviously about to get some warscore, but there are still another thirteen thousand heading for me - eight in a desperate attempt to save those 180 men, five to attack
my reserves.
I mange to win at Shrevport before the second army arrives.
And that second army is not up to mine, as you can see below.
Oh, remember my reserves that were under attack? Well, they got some reinforcements.
Interestingly, that only gives me half the warscore First Shrevport did. Strange.
Anyway, those reinforcement are bound north, where I am still winning comfortably.
Now, a word from our sponsors....
Anyone thinking of jumping on their time machine and heading down to Mexico? Well, why not make this small gold-filled town one of your stops? Doritos will be sent along directly![/sponsorship]
Now, back to the show.
Good dice, aren't they?
Look, how I am going to lose that?
By sheer bad luck, apparently. The day
after my reinforcements arrive. I'm betting a wickedly lopsided dice roll (I mean 9-0) wiping out my org.
Whatever the reason, the USA has the initiative....

So as you can see, the Mississippi front is one great confusing mess of battle. So what should I do? Should I white peace, send some troops to Utah.... what? Waiting on you guys. I did mention I'm terrible at this game, right?
