RISK Domination VIII: Finished!!

[minionofmidas]

My apologies for the delay. I was inexplicably absent from all forms of the interweb these past five days.

[minionofmidas]

I have been attacked. I shall retaliate. In Wisconsin.

[minionofmidas]

Reinforce Illinois.

Attack Illinois-Wisconsin, moving all troops.
Attack Kentucky-Missouri do or die, moving (if I have a choice, ie I don't lose a unit) only three units to Missouri.
Attack Ohio-Indiana do or die.
Tactically move all available units from Indiana back to Ohio.
End turn. Minnesota and Michigan are FF states that do not require liberation.

[minionofmidas]

Who could? It's a very common feeling.

[minionofmidas]

2 on Iowa, 1 on Kentucky. Attack NJ-PA do or die. Attack OH-MI do or die.
If unsuccessful, await further orders. If successful, attack WI-MN do or die, tactically move all available units from PA to OH, and end turn.
Oh yeah, if WI-MN fails but Teddy has only one unit left in MN, attack it from Iowa.

[minionofmidas]

I suppose so.

Oh well. Attack WI-MN do or die, moving only the minimum required to MN. Await further instructions if I fall below three attacking units.

[minionofmidas]

Yes, I meant for you to await further instructions either way, but interrupt the attack at such a point. Thanks!

'Kay. Make a further do-or-die attempt at subduing those pesky mittenheads, from Wisconsin this time. Irrespective of outcome, tacticalmove everybody available from PA to OH and end turn.

[minionofmidas]

The Mikado retreats to Louisiana

Oh he does, does he now?

[minionofmidas]

Hmmm... toughy. 3 each on KY and MN, 2 each on OH and IA, 1 on MO. Attack MN-ND, stop if I lose two units. If successful, tactically move them back to MN and end turn. If unsuccessful, await further orders.

[minionofmidas]

(Though if someone doesn't break Lewis' bonus soon, he's going to rack up numbers fast.)

Ssshh. Sets are going to be flowing all around us soon, anyhow.

[minionofmidas]

Sorry, Lewis.

Apology not accepted.

[minionofmidas]

It's probably no use pressing thumbs for homely here, is it? If there's anything left at the end of BK's rampage it falls to Gustaf, not me.

[minionofmidas]

Put in Iowa, conquer Minnesota, if successful split in such a fashion as to leave 1 or 2 units more in MN than in IA, tactically move two from Kentucky to Missouri, mutter dark curses in a broadly westerly direction, and end turn.
If unsuccessful, refer back for further orders.

[minionofmidas]

2 on Kentucky, remainder on Iowa. Attack IA-SD, leaving 4 behind in Iowa. (Stop if there are five or fewer units left in IA.) Await further oders.

[minionofmidas]

Very good, attack SD-ND until the number of units in SD falls to four or less or the number of units in ND falls to two or less. In the latter case, MN-ND do or die. Actually, in the first case as well, should ND be down to four or less.
Await further instructions.

[minionofmidas]

Lewis Trondheim [6] rolls 3 dice:	[6] [5] [5]
The Mikado [6] rolls 2 dice:	[6] [5]
Lewis Trondheim loses 2 battalions

Lewis Trondheim [4] rolls 3 dice:	[6] [5] [5]
The Mikado [6] rolls 2 dice:	[5] [4]
The Mikado loses 2 battalions

Lewis Trondheim [4] rolls 3 dice:	[6] [6] [1]
The Mikado [4] rolls 2 dice:	[6] [5]
Both armies lose 1 battalion each

That's some pretty high rolling from both sides.

Move three from SD to MN and end my turn.

[minionofmidas]

What is Gustaf planning on doing with those 21 armies in New York?  Is he waiting for either Lewis and/or Bacon King to come to them?

Sneak attack on Lewis via Ontario.

I have 905 units piled up around Toronto.

[minionofmidas]

Watch out, Joe! He's trying to usurp your authority! Give him only 1s 2s and 3s from here on!

[minionofmidas]

Pretty sure dice are traditionally viewed as in the devil's domain, so you want him to realize Bacon King is not evil.

[minionofmidas]

Trading in WI, SC and PA for four extra units (plus two on WI). Place all in KY.
Attack ND-SD-NE-WY do or die.
Attack KY-TN do or die. If successful... well I'd have to draw up a very complex set of options depending on how many units survive... can I just decide that after the attack proper?

[minionofmidas]

Leave 8 in KY and 5 in TN. Move one from MI to OH. End turn.

[minionofmidas]

No Washington?

[minionofmidas]

I was under the vague impression that BK could only trade in one set per round, so more rules confusion. Not that I particularly mind, btw, cause that would have meant he would have been certain to trade a set this turn and another next turn (he'd have ended this turn on five cards).

[minionofmidas]

Put all reinforcements into Ohio.
The MO garrison is ordered to commiserate the Oklahomans' fate.
Attack OH-KY do or die. Distribute survivors evenly, putting the extra (if any) in Kentucky. Tactically move two from WI to IL.

[minionofmidas]

The MO garrison is ordered to commiserate the Oklahomans' fate.

Um, by "commiserate", did you mean "invade"? 

No.
