Pre-Recap Announcements:

Here are the ways for how you can choose your level of involvement with the team – use only one method within the same turn:
- Michigan Rebel Base:If you would like to see/discuss overall strategy and choose your daily mission from a list of approved targets, use the Discord link (https://discord.gg/DRQyjp56kP)
  - Note: if already using Discord, please do not change to another method.
- If you want a simple order to follow, use the new orders distribution website (http://www.whataremyorders.com/).
- And for anybody who wants to choose their own adventure (or the above links don't work), feel free to hit any of these territories tonight to help the cause!
  - Ohio State
    - Ann Arbor
    - Bowling Green
    - Chicago
    - West Point
  - Wisconsin
    - Regina

First, let's point out the obvious -- none of the targets above are Texas A&M. Yes, we know. And you want to know why? Because if you look at the leaderboard, ourselves, A&M, and OSU have 1 region between the three of us, and it belongs to OHIO STATE.

OSU and Georgia Tech have been playing footsie, and now Ohio State has the makings of a Bucky Death Star in my backyard!!!!

As a Native Philadelphian, I've been content to let my city suffer under Buckeye rule as Michigan swept south. NO LONGER. Ohio State has become too powerful, and it's time to retake my homeland! Oh, and what color is Ann Arbor? Buckeye Grey! The f*ck???

Unfortunately, we can't take Philly back tonight, but we can bring the full force of the Rebel Army to retake Ann Arbor and key parts of the Midwest as well as crash into the Tri-State area. SO LET'S F*CKING DO IT.

To be clear, the Aggies are still a problem, and we're not going to withdraw from the South just because the Buckeyes are eating cheesesteaks. But we need to refocus ourselves, because this chart is scary as hell...

Chart? YES CHART!

OSU's regional bonus means their power this turn is almost equal to our own. And they are within striking distance of FOUR MORE. If we aren't careful, they are going to build a Bucky Death Star that makes the Aggie Death Star look positively quaint in comparison.

We have the raw star and player advantage and we need every bit of that AND MORE. Unfortunately, though, our powerful Rebel Army -- including the Michigan Rogue Force -- will not be able to win if OSU is operating at 350% power. And so, we must turn our attention east....

MAP. MAP INDEED!!!!

Elsewhere on the Map...

Caribbean: Oh, did I forget to mention that OSU is two territories away from claiming THIS region? We could be looking at Buckey operating at 400%(!!??)
Southeast: It appears OSU's bunk buddy GT has dispatched Florida. RIP Gators.
Southwest: Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Iowa State are fighting each other in California, the Rockies, and the Sun Belt -- all trying to survive.
Northwest: Wisconsin. Anakin. There's a reason they are our only non-OSU target today. 'Nuff said.

Now, can we please liberate Ann Arbor and Philly? I know most of you don't care about the latter, but we have some really good food, and I promise to treat y'all to a Wawa meal once we retake it.

Go Blue and F*CK OSU!
