RISK Domination X: Finished!!

[Joe Republic]

Go big or go home

1 reinforcement on Utah, invade Idaho.

2 reinforcements on Nevada, take Arizona then go for California.

That works, right? I think my family always played by slightly different rules. Lets see what that creates.

Of the 3 available reinforcements, 1 has been deployed in Utah, where there are now 3 in total; and 2 have been deployed in Nevada, where there are now 5 in total.

Please deploy as follows...

Please attack Texas to Arkansas to Mississippi, moving the maximum number of troops each time. If anything along this line of attack fails, stop and await further orders. If it's successful, attack Alabama from Tennessee. I want you rolling with the highest number of dice possible, but if I win, I want you to move the lowest number of armies possible into Alabama.

Refortify by moving four armies from North Carolina to Tennessee. End turn.

Where are you planing on taking Wyoming from?  I think you mean from Idaho, but it isn't clear, and both Utah and Colorado could attack.

I figured he meant Idaho, given the trajectory of the orders.

Tmth, you didn't specify how many dice you wanted to attack WA with from ID, so I assumed it would be do-or-die three dice maximum.  That meant that you were forced to place 3 battalions in WA, leaving only 1 in ID.  Hence why I stopped the attack run there.

[Joe Republic]

From Page 1:

3. Tactical Move

Once you've finished your attack phase, you may perform a tactical move if you wish.  You can move as many battalions as you want from one of your states to one neighboring state (remembering to leave one battalion behind, of course).  You may only perform one tactical move each turn.

Sorry, tmth.

Trading in a couple of cards:

       

That should give me an extra 10 (for a total of 17 wherever I want), along with 2 each on Vermont and Minnesota.

Put all 17 on Minnesota, making it a total of 20 battalions in that state. Attack, do-or-die, MN-ND-MT-ID-OR-CA-NV. (Sorry, BK. If I succeed. Otherwise, damn you ) At the end of that run, tactical move VT-NY, which should leave me with a total of 14 battalions in that state. (If I've misinterpreted anything regarding how cards work, don't attack anything, explain my mistake, and let me reconsider. But I took the time to reread the rules after tmth's mishap, so I think I'm set.)

Reinforcements


A set of cards has been traded in, worth 10 battalions.  Furthermore, the Minnesota and Vermont cards have produced an additional 2 battalions each, which have been deployed in those states.

Attack Oklahoma to Arkansas, do or die. Attack Maryland to Delaware, do or die. If any of these fail, stop and await further orders. If not, proceed.

Attack Tennessee to Virginia to West Virginia to Kentucky to Indiana to Illinois to Missouri to Iowa to Nebraska to Wyoming, do or die. If I get that far, I want the maximum number of troops in Wyoming. Either way, stop and await further orders.

Whatever I do, it’s going to be tough. Might as well see if I can make something from nothing!

[Joe Republic]

After some reflection, I've come to the conclusion that not taking the move I am about to would serve only to delay the game and lead to Hagrid eventually overwhelming me with superior force of numbers with Franzl's/Marokai's cards anyway. Sorry, tmth. Obviously if this fails the game is over, and much faster than it would've been otherwise, but there's no reward for holding out longer.

I'd like to trade in the following card set:

       

This should give me an extra 10 battalions, plus 2 in Montana. Of my total 19 reinforcements, please put 5 on Idaho, 3 on New York, and 11 on Nevada, for a total of 6 in Idaho, 17 on New York, and 21 on Nevada. At that point, do-or-die the following attack sequences:

ID-WA
NY-NJ-DE-MD-VA-NC
NV-CA-AZ-UT-CO-NM-TX

If that was all successful, stop and end turn. If any part of that was unsuccessful, I guess attack MT-WY in a futile gesture, curse, and then end turn. Thank you, Joe

GENERALS [1]  Vosem [2]  Hagrid [X]  Tmthforu94 [X]  Franzl [X]  Bacon King [X]  Marokai Blue

Hagrid: it is your turn.  You have 6 reinforcements.


+ [18 states ÷ 3 = 6 reinforcements]
+ [No regions controlled]

= 6 reinforcements

[Joe Republic]

You also control Iowa, meaning 2 extra battalions there as well. 

I'll get to these orders most likely tomorrow night, just FYI.  Feel free to revise anything in the mean time.
