RISK Domination X: Finished!!

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Please deploy as follows:

9 on Texas

Attack Texas to Arkansas to Tennessee to Kentucky. If I don't get anything there, launch a feeble attempt to take South Dakota from Nebraska. Otherwise, end turn.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Hopefully this is the beginning of that black cat turning all the way around and shippin' outta town.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

So that gives me 18 armies to work with, plus an additional two on Kentucky.

Please deploy as follows:

4 (+2) on Kentucky
14 on Tennessee

Let’s take a gamble here. Attack Tennessee to Mississippi  to Louisiana to Texas to New Mexico to Arizona to California to Nevada to Oregon to Washington, do or die. Then attack Kentucky to Ohio to Michigan to Wisconsin to Minnesota, same deal.

Await further orders.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Okay. Minnesota to North Dakota to Montana to South Dakota.

If Montana to South Dakota fails, try attacking South Dakota from Nebraska.

If the Nebraska attack isn't needed, refortify by moving the maximum number of troops from Nebraska into Iowa. If it is needed (and succeeds), move the maximum into Minnesota from South Dakota. If there aren't enough troops in the area to do any refortifying, just leave it be.

End turn.

W00t!

(Also, you have me down for three armies in Colorado... I think I just have the one.)

EDIT: Cripes, I just realized I control Colorado, too. Good catch with the card. Thanks, Joe.)

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Everything on NY. Let's give it all we got, NY-PA-WV-KY-TN-MO-KS-OK-NM-AZ-CA. Do or die. Then await further orders.

You are not winning that easy, Hagrid!

I think maybe both of us are underestimating our own chances, cuz I'm not at all optimistic haha.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Please deploy as follows:

10 on Iowa

I have no idea if this is the right play, but what the heck! Attack Iowa to Missouri to Tennessee to Kentucky to West Virginia to Pennsylvania to New York to Connecticut to Rhode Island to Massachusetts to Vermont to New Hampshire to Maine. Do or die. Await further orders (I know there's not much I can do after this move, but it helps to see things).

Thanks, Joe.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Okay. Please move the maximum number from South Dakota to Nebraska and end turn.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Ooh, interesting. Does he let me have my Southeast bonus and keep New York strong, or does he dilute his forces to put a dent in my reinforcements next turn?

I'm not particularly unhappy with either option.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Okay. I think it's better for me to do it this way...

16 on Oregon

Attack Oregon to California to Arizona to New Mexico to Oklahoma. Await further orders.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Okay. Colorado to Kansas. Nebraska to Missouri. If either fails, use Oklahoma.

In terms of refortifying and ending my turn... Make whichever move will put the most armies back in Oklahoma.

I don't know if that's clear. This is sort of a weird one to try and finish in a turn. If anything's unclear or if a scenario arises for which I haven't really covered, either use your discretion or stop so I can clarify. Thanks, Joe.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Wow, the dice really keep conspiring against Hagrid. But it's over now anyway.

Should I be embarrassed over how long it's taken? Vosem has put up an unbelievable fight.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Actually, thanks for doing that. Because I lied... Please move one army from Kansas to Missouri.

(Unless that's dishonest, because I did say Oklahoma before. In that case, move from Kansas to Oklahoma.)

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Well, I think this is it.

23 on Oklahoma

Attack Oklahoma to Arkansas to Tennessee to Kentucky to Ohio to Pennsylvania to New York to Connecticut to Rhode Island to Massachusetts to Vermont to New Hampshire to Maine. Do or die.

End game (I hope).

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Hey, that's awesome!


Thanks for your hard work on this, Joe. It must be a pretty big commitment, but honestly, it was a ton of fun to play. Shout out to the other generals, too. Scheming with Tmth and Marokai at the beginning was pretty great.
