RISK Game

[Spiderman]

KJ: Don't worry about it, I would have done the same thing. One easy country to eliminate someone and get their cards is obviously the right play

 

[Rakarth]

I object to that characterization I see myself as more entrepreneurial and ruthless

 

[Rakarth]

I think there's something wrong with the spreadsheet. As far as I am aware, I succesfully invaded the Eastern US but the spreadsheet doesn't show it.

 

[rokapoke]

Exchange my cards, which are:

East Africa Tank
Congo Tank
Western Europe Tank.

Place all armies in India and invade the Middle East.

Might do more things, depending on how this attack ends

Results:

20 armies placed in India (5 from territories, 15 from card trading).

India (23 attackers) vs Middle East (10 defenders):
India (5 4 1), Middle East (5 4)
India (6 5 1), Middle East (6 4)
India (4 2 1), Middle East (3 1)
India (6 4 1), Middle East (5 5)
India (6 3 1), Middle East (6 6)
India (6 3 1), Middle East (6 3)
India (3 2 1), Middle East (4 2)
India (5 4 1), Middle East (6 4)
India (6 5 2), Middle East (6 2)
India (4 4 2), Middle East (5 2)
India (6 5 1), Middle East (6 3)
India (5 3 3), Middle East (3 3)
India (5 5 3), Middle East (5 3)
India (4 4 1), Middle East (5)
India (5 3 1), Middle East (4)


So Rakarth's armies defended their territory strongly, but the attackers prevailed. 5 armies move into the Middle East (unless you'd prefer 3 or 4 to enter, instead -- let me know).

Spreadsheet updated, assuming 5 armies enter the Middle East.

Anything further?

 

[Killer Joe]

That is SCARY!!!!

For the record, the spreadsheet had shown it, but KJ stole the territory back from you on his last turn.

 

[Rakarth]

Ahhh, now I see it, sorry bout that

Go my guys

 

[Modus Pwnens]

Last movement, invade Egypt from middle-east and move as many armies into there as possible. Might move some other armies after this attack, depending on how it goes.

[Rakarth]

Ok, let's drop all 6 into Southern Europe and attack Egypt. I like Egypt and I want it back Modus

They'll probably be moves after this so we'll see how this goes first.

 

[rokapoke]

Sorry for the delay.

Results of attack:

Southern Europe (10 attackers) vs Egypt (4 defenders)
Southern Europe (6 6 2), Egypt (4 2)
Southern Europe (5 4 1), Egypt (5 4)
Southern Europe (6 5 3), Egypt (1 1)

8 attackers successfully invade Egypt (though you can reduce this number to as little as 3 if you like, leaving as many as 6 total armies in Southern Europe -- let me know.)

Spreadsheet updated.

Further moves?

 

[Modus Pwnens]

Why are Rakarths troops twice as powerful as mine? His 10 took down 17 of mine, and now my 4 troops only killed 2 of his

 

[rokapoke]

Rakarth played Gratuitous Violence earlier in the game. You may have missed it.

 

[Spiderman]

If yours are bad Modus, mine were worse... that one battle where something like 11 of my troops attacked 5 or 6 of yours and I lost 8 or 9 of them...

 

[Killer Joe]

Well, when dealing with d6's you can get that kind of result easily. Try it sometime IRL.

 

[Spiderman]

Oh, I know... real life or virtual...

 

[rokapoke]

Really, the results are based on who paid me more. Clearly, Spidey, your payment was deficient. Modus' wasn't too bad, but Rakarth really knocked my socks off with his.

Capitalism, people!

 

[Spiderman]

What? I thought my payment of $5 was enough....
