Zaeban, I am sorry but I can only describe your game plan as wishful thinking. First of all you have less than 1/4 chance of taking both bonuses in 2nd turn, while I have over 40%. Even in the worst case scenario (and it is really improbable that you take 12 income while I miss 11) I really don't see how is it game over since we would be 12-11 when you have no access to my bonuses. You could only expand to indonesia, while I could do the same with greenland. Also you'd be under constant pressure from the threat of me taking russia and pushing china through mongolia or xinjiang...

"You could only expand to indonesia"

I will expand in Central Russia

So basically your strategy is based on the assumption that I let you in central russia and get myself eliminated from there? That means you automatically would assume your opponent plays bad...

My point is I'd have an easier access to your bonuses than you would have to mine. That is always the drawback of picking triple cluster.

Actually according to my plan you have no access to my bonuses

How can you hold both mongolia and Xinjinang effectively? I don't seem to understand your plan...

The Question is: how can you keep central russia safe from me taking it and go in touch with my bonuses at the same time?

When we clash in Tomsk/Xinjiang we'll have 11/12 with you having max 1-2 troops more on the border and with me having russia unfinished (2 neutrals left). You would definitely not be able to break by force through Tomsk and I could (deooending on your troop count) either prepare russia to be taken, or (what is more probable) wait for order priority card, blockade russia and hit mongolia hard while taking greenland...

I really don't understand how do you want to take my bonus with 1 income advantage and huge defensive commitment.
