I believe I should deploy 1 on E4, 1 on F1 and 1 on N9. Then I should fortify from E5 to E1.

Its unlimited forts, so think about:

Dropping one on N9, F1 and O4. then forting one from E5 to E1 and one to E4. this will give you 5 stacks of 4 instead of 3 stacks of 4 and one of 5. Just a thought.

I believe I should deploy 1 on E4, 1 on F1 and 1 on N9. Then I will attack from E4 to E6 in preparation to move into A2. Then I will fortify from E1 to E5, with the intention of moving those troops into E4, although it's hard to tell what yellow will do in the coming turns in Europe.

OK, those are good moves. Make it so.

In the middle of my turn. I lost 2 troops taking the 1 troop in E6. Have reinforced 2 to E4 and 1 to E6 to make it 3 in each. Should I reinforce all to E6 to make it 5? I'm afraid that if I leave them each weaker than yellow, then I'll be taken out this next turn and my work will be in vain.

Will wait to finish turn.

Put two on N9 instead and take N5. Notice Red tried to take stef in Aussie and played nothing much in other areas - he will go for bonus --in aussie

Yellow is expanding in Europe and green stepped in to fortify on A2 after I was advised not to move in there last turn (there were only 2 troops there before). Red is likely going to try and take South America next turn for bonus, so I should probably put 1 or 2 troops in F1 to counter that move. I'm sure that yellow has his sights set on my position in E6. Should I move out to A3 or hold that ground?

Here is what I would do left to my own devices: deploy 1 -> F1. Deploy 2 -> N6. Attack N7 from N6.

OK, yellow is playing standard game for territory. So far so good.

I suggest you

deploy
2 E6
1 N5

attack
O3 soft attack - lose only 2 -- no advance

Did what you said, but why N instead of F?

If yellow does go bizzaro on you, you need a strong stack in Ns.

Yellow missed his turn last round, so he did not move in Europe, but he may do so double-fold this round. Red has taken South America. I think I should put 1 in N6, 2 in F1 and get a card from attacking from F1 to F4 (without advancing).

Your looking set up well. Remember to post your game link on your comment. (easier for the teachers to get to your game.

I did. No one responded for my last turn and I waited as long as I could to play without missing the turn. The last posts were just an update.

Red held South America after pink missed a turn. Green cashed in a set, eliminating my armies in Australia and taking the continent. Before this turn, I was sure that green was the weakest player and I was in a decent position to eliminate him, but now, that is not the case. I think I should deploy 1 to N7, 1 to F1 and 1 to E6 and hold my position until my cards are worth more.

OK, this is a tough one. You have a lot of bonus monkeys in the game. Yellow is going for the Es, and you are the target. I suggest you cash in to fortify.

deploy
4 E6
4 N5
1 N7

attack
N8 - soft attack - lose only 2 - no advance

Comments:
One player has begun to work on my stack in Europe, decreasing it from 11 to 9. I think that player was green in A2, since his stack decreased the same amount as mine. I think cyan might be my best chance to take out a player first. So, I should put 2 in F1, 1 in E6 and take A3 w/o advancing for the card.

OK, you have 3 bonus monkeys in this game, and yellow seems immune from attack. Green is an idiot. Red is dangerous. It is a tough game. You want green, but you don't want yellow to get the Es, so I suggest you deploy

2 E6
1 F1

attach
A3 - soft - lose only 2 - no advance

Hopefully you get a set and can move out of the Es toward Green next turn.
