Marquis de Lafayette Arrives in Colonies

the Patriots. Offering to serve at his own expense, he was commissioned
a Major General in the Continental Army and became
a close confident to George Washington. Wounded at the Battle of
Brandywine Creek, he served in the army until January 1779.

Tories Tested
Tories were also called Loyalists, Royalists or King’s men. Patriots
referred to them as “persons inimical to the liberties of America.”
When their cause was defeated, about 15% of the Loyalists or
65,000–70,000 emigrated to other parts of the British Empire.

Second one in a row that's as early as possible. I'm not gonna have time to make a post calling out everything that's needed, so if people can take the time to do that on their own that would be excellent. For our part the Indians will be moving to SW/NW so there are four in each space.
Rough winter! Just glad half of 1 is 0. But this still seem bad for Freedom.

Somebody please double-check my work here, but I think it's right...
Supply Phase:
- All British forces are in supply
- Patriots are out of supply in: New York, Quebec, Maryland/Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia. Only place that this matters (i.e., only place with more than one unit) is in Quebec. @A Half Eaten Oreo to either pay one resource or remove one Militia from Quebec
- All French forces are in supply
- Indians are out of supply in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland/Delaware, and Pennsylvania. @admanb to either pay one resource per each of those spaces where he leaves units or move those units to the nearest province with a village (Penn. and Maryland units would go to Northwest, North Carolina unit to Southwest, the Virginia unit may go to either Northwest or Southwest)
West Indies Battle
French and British battle in the West Indies.
British loss level = 1d3 + 1 (for opposing force being 50%+ regulars)
French loss level = 1d3 + 1 -1 (for opposing force being 50%+ regulars / for attacking in West Indies with one squadron present)
Geth, roll 1d3 for base British Loss Level

Resources Phase:
British gain 6 resources (3 forts + 3 population in non-blockaded British controlled cities: Quebec (1), Savannah (1), and Charleston (1))
Indians gain 2 resources (half of 5 villages, rounded down)
Patriots gain 6 resources (3 forts + half of 6 Rebellion controlled spaces, rounded down)
French gain 4 resources (FNI level of 2 + 2 population in cities not controlled by British: Norfolk (1) and Philadelphia (1))
Support Phase: @TheColonel may spend resources to build support in New York City only (it's the only space with regulars and tories that's not already at active support). @A Half Eaten Oreo may spend resources to raise opposition in any rebellion controlled space with Patriot pieces: Georgia, Norfolk, Philadelphia, New York, Massachusetts
I'll pause there for everyone to catch up and check my work.
Let the militia starve in Quebec. Pay 2 resources to increase Opposition in New York to Passive Oppose . Pay 1 resource to increase Opposition in Norfolk to Active Oppose.
Looking ahead I believe 2 militia and 1 continental will desert from the Armies of Freedom.

The Tory in Quebec deserts out of loneliness.
The blockade from Boston sails back to the West Indies.
Rochambeau goes to New York state.

Brilliant Stroke!: Execute two free Limited Commands and one Special Activity in any order. Leader must be involved in at least one of the
Limited Commands.
1. 4 French regulars + 2 continentals March from Massachusetts to New York
2. Rochambeau + 8 French regulars + 2 continentals March from New York to New York City
3. Naval Pressure; raise FNI to level 2, move Blockade to Charles Town
New York City now under Rebellion control.
@admanb to reveal the card on deck, then it'll be @A Half Eaten Oreo to play first on the William Alexander card.

These event cards are just a continual go fuck yourself to the British side, I swear. It might just be recently but I feel like the balance of turn orders has been rough.

William Alexander, Lord Stirling
As a Brigadier General in the Continental Army, at the Battle
of Long Island, Lord Stirling led the stalwart, well-trained 1st
Maryland Regiment in repeated attacks against a superior British
Army force at the Old Stone House and took heavy casualties.
Heavily outnumbered, his brigade was eventually overwhelmed and
Stirling himself was taken prisoner during the retreat, but not before
repelling the British forces long enough to allow the main body of
Washington’s Continental troops to escape. He was praised by both
Washington and the British for his bravery and audacity. Released
in a prisoner exchange he was promoted to the rank of major general
and became one of Washington’s most trusted generals.
