    Naval Pressure, reducing FN by 1 due to Howe then generating 1D3 resources.

    Geth, roll 1d3 for British resources.

    Yep. They're kind of the opposite of the British where you read the British and you're like, "okay but they can't move everywhere." Then you see them in action and yes, they can move everywhere. Meanwhile with the French you're like, "hell yea they got boats they can move... oh huh I can't go anywhere."

    My 1 on Naval Pressure (combined with what some might call a mistake of placing Tories in Savannah) means that I'm broke going into first eligible on the next card, where if I take C+SA to actually do things or pass for money, the Patriots can take the event to swing supp/opp by three and end the card at +10.

    edit: and the next card has a 20% chance of being WQ.

    ehhhh y'know what maybe it's not that big a deal. I can do C+SA and do something that creates support.

    edit: though if I roll another 1 on Naval Pressure D:

    If you kill Washington's second suicide squad that would raise support right?

    I'd have to do the math but that's probably about as risky as Naval Pressure if he activates Militia.

    If he activates both Militia it would be 1d3+1 vs 2d3. BUT if I march into NC then it would be 2d3+1, or 3d3+1 if I activate 2 War Parties. Correct?

    If my math checks out March 4 War Parties into North Carolina.

    Okay Geth I forgive you and I love you.

    Battle in North Carolina, spending 1 down to 2.
    - activate two War Parties (it's my choice as the initiating player).
    - @Hedgethorn can choose to activate Militia.

    The British roll will be 3D3 +1 (regulars) +1 (underground) -1 (defending Mr. Retreat).

    No militia activated. Patriot roll will be 0d3 +1 (a piece underground) + 1 (a defending leader) = 2

    Brits lose one regular. No matter what is rolled, Patriots will lose both continentals.

    Win the Day puts North Carolina to Passive Support, I think, just so that's explicit. (+2 support)

    Patriots will take the Event.
    Shift Charles Town to Active Opposition and put a Militia there. (+1 opposition)
    Shift New York City to Neutral. No more available militia, so remove one from North Carolina and move it to Charles Town (Edit: this should of course say New York) if that's allowed. (-2 support)

    I think that leaves us at Opposition = 16 and Support = 8.

    @admanb for the next card. @A Half Eaten Oreo will be first eligible, so long as Winter Quarters isn't flipped.

    Wouldn't +2 make it active in NC?

    Win the Day shifts one level for every two pieces lost by the loser, with the exception that Gen. Washington shifts one level per piece.

    Since Patriots lost two cubes, NC moves from Neutral to Passive Oppo.
