Since you dont have any units right now, we attack New England NEXT turn okay? By then I will have a monster force ready of gunships, AA units, and some zerglings. Your main focus should be on land units. Basically, we split the country equally after the war. I get Pennsylvania, New York, New jersey, Massachusetts, and New Foundland (if they claim that next turn, which is likely).
Also, another claim deal. This time for Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. Claim em quick so that nobody else does, like texas. I might have to pay you in 2 turns for them though, as I will have no cash next turn due to the war spending this turn.
