Auverne's
better than average opening moves for the
River Race Map

The purpose of this page is to convey the fact that one can collect resource money and still keep the truck in the particular transportation vehicle.  Greatly needed in those first few turns is cash and a lot of it.  Many players assign way to many trucks and this is usually what has them behind when the artillery starts to fly and bases begin to fall.   When I first started playing mk, it took three weeks until it was suggested (yes, I didn't figure it out on my own) that I didn't need to assign all my resources.  Since then I have assigned the bare minimum of resources in the first few turns of all games I play. 

In the following River Race strategy you will see the logic of assigning the bare minimum of resources while collecting all the cash.  After learning this logic, you can go on and apply it to similar "resource 'daisy chain' maps" such as Marsh, Snakepit and Scandinavia2 etc. 

I have included the opening four moves for this walk through which can be found at this link (18k).
Unzip these *.sav files and place them in your Mk directory, then open them in local.  Refer to the *.sav file turns as they relate to the following pages.  Btw, I use McAfee virus scanner.  The files are clean.
