I have two questions for you:
British
French
Patriots
Indians
2.) Do we have a rough idea of just how much more the full game will add to the length of the game overall comparatively?
Patriots
Indian
British
French
2. Based on the bgg COIN beginner thread I saw a while back, they recommended short for newbies. As I newbie I then vote short.
Edit: Maybe a *slight* preference for the French, if only because they seem different than the factions I've already seen in Fire in the Lake and Distant Plain.
TheColonel as the British
A Half Eaten Orea as the Patriots
Hedgethorn as the French
Myself as the Indians

First player is the British. @TheColonel
I expect the first few turns to go slowly as people try and figure out WTF they're doing in this game.
And yeah this game is a WHOOOOLE buncha rules upfront, best of luck to everyone!
Edit: Oh, looks like you are doing the medium scenario, not the super short one, so the French still start off map. Cool
I'll take the unshaded event text, choosing Massachusetts and New York as the two colony choices.
@admanb
@TheColonel to decide whether to give me 2+ resources.
British Resources: 3
Patriot Resources: 2
French Resources: 5
Indian Resources: 2

Next player is the Patriots. @A Half Eaten Oreo
Command: Rally spending 2 resources
Special Action: Persuasion
Using Persuasion in Massachusetts, Charles Town, and North Carolina. Gain 3 resources, activate 1 militia and place 1 propaganda marker in each of those locations.
First time ever taking an action so trying to be detailed. Hope I didn't screw anything up.
Aside from big plays I usually won't post an update in between two commands on the same card, but if you need that to plan your turn just ask.
Am I reading the Patriots faction sheet wrong, or can Oreo only replace militia with continentals in one space?
Last line of Rally action reads: "If desired, replace any Militia in any 1 space containing a Fort with Continentals"
Let's go with Mass then.
@admanb for the next card, then it'll be @TheColonel as first eligible.
The Burning of Falmouth was an attack by a Royal Navy fleet on
the town of Falmouth, Massachusetts (site of the modern city of
Portland, Maine.) George Washington described the Burning of
Falmouth as “An outrage exceeding in barbarity and cruelty every
hostile act among nations.”

@TheColonel to play.
I'd like to Naval Pressure first and then Muster.
@admanb Do you want to handle dice rolling or should we do so?
Geth, roll 1d3 for NavalPressure
Spend 1 Resource - Place 2 British Regulars in New York plus 2 bonus Tories (total in New York 5 Regulars, 5 Tories)
Spend 1 Resource - Place 5 British Regulars in South Carolina plus 2 bonus Tories (total in South Carolina 5 Regulars, 4 Tories)
Spend 1 Resource - Reward Loyalty in New York, bringing it up to Active Support.
I believe net British Resources will be 2 (3 + 2 - 3) by end of turn.
@Hedgethorn for next eligible.
