you are very thin spread. just reinforce your borders, take easy cards and wait for the cashins to increase. Maybe you could take entire europe in 1-2 rounds.
And don't cash in before you have 5 cards.
As this is escalating, you haven't a need to attack anyone so early. Build yourself to prevent easily elimination and go for a ill later when the spoils are more valuable....
Use Greece and Yukon to earn your next two cards while building up your borders and AT LEAST one other territory elsewhere. You have a handful of 3-army territories scattered around, maybe plac e 2 armies on one of them next turn, then 2 on a different one the following turn so you can hold a presence elsewhere and make you harder to elimininate hwile simultaneously increasing the areas you can aim at eliminating others.
Err this is an escalating game boys.....you want to be strong in at least two separate locations on the map. I suggest you stay alive in america....bonuses count for shit when people are handing in cards for 50 armies.
